As a Simulation and Model-Based developer, I was part of work package between Sigma Technology Experience AB and Volvo Technology AB that focused on enhancing system-level simulation of complex in-house vehicle and energy systems.

Developed and enhanced modular models in MATLAB/Simulink for virtual integration, supporting system integration and validation. Improved model architecture and structure for MIL/SIL simulations, enabling better requirement traceability and reuse. Implemented automated workflows using MATLAB scripting and Git, improving simulation efficiency and version control. Collaborated with cross-functional Agile teams to support system development and simulation platform evolution.

Developed a Python-based analytical modeling tool for preliminary evaluation of electric machine sizing and performance. Derived and implemented analytical relationships linking machine sizing parameters (stator/rotor dimensions, winding configuration, airgap, magnetic loading) to critical powertrain performance metrics (torque density, efficiency, and power output). Enabled rapid design space exploration and reduced reliance on computationally intensive simulations. Contributed to efficient evaluation o

Researched and evaluated multiple battery modeling approaches for integration into Battery Management System (BMS) applications, ensuring performance and reliability. Implemented comparative analysis of first-order equivalent circuit battery models across different simulation platforms to identify strengths and limitations. Analyzed critical cell parameters including voltage and temperature, by assessing model precision through deviation metrics, correlation analysis, and predictive capability evaluations

Conducted an in-depth study on mechanics of Internal Combustion Engines (ICEs), gaining foundational knowledge in engine dynamics, performance metrics, and efficiency factors. Performed powertrain design calculations for an electric bike, determining torque and power requirements for optimal performance. Carried out a comprehensive survey of electric motors, evaluating different motor types and their suitability for electric mobility applications. Contributed to the development of Virtual Labs by applyin
