Manikanta Uppara

Designed and implemented a robust Simulink model for simulating fuel cell behavior under dynamic operating conditions, integrating input data and real-time impedance calculations. Developed and validated EEC models in MATLAB/Simulink, optimized impedance parameters using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and back-calculation techniques. Automated the extraction and analysis of impedance and voltage data from real-world test bench experiments to improve model accuracy.

1) Developing a lane-following controller for autonomous vehicles in the GINI Project using PID and MPC algorithms. 2) Designed waypoint extraction algorithms with dummy maps for accurate vehicle navigation and trajectory following. 3) Developed accelerometer sensor software in Simulink and VeRa for Fuel-Cell Heavy Duty Trucks, ensuring reliable ESC and crash detection. 4) Worked with HIL testing and CAN protocols to enhance system integration and communication.
