    Professional Experience

    • Post Doctoral Fellow

    Research Contributions

    • Multi-Body Dynamics for Vehicle Dynamics and Biomechanics: I am a learner in Multi-Body Dynamics (MBD), and I specialize in applying my understanding of MBD to solve complex problems in vehicle dynamics and biomechanics. My expertise lies in simulating and analyzing vehicles' three-dimensional motion and performance under various conditions, as well as using trajectory optimization techniques to simulate two-dimensional and three-dimensional walking in biomechanics. In vehicle dynamics, I focus on utilizing MBD principles to simulate the dynamic behavior of vehicles in three-dimensional space. This involves analyzing and predicting how vehicles respond to different drivers' commands, road profiles, and varying road conditions. I can effectively assess and optimize vehicle performance, stability, and safety by understanding the intricate interactions between vehicle components and external forces. Additionally, my expertise extends to solving problems related to vehicle dynamics and control. I can develop and apply advanced control strategies to enhance vehicle handling, stability, and efficiency. My knowledge and skills in MBD enable me to address real-world challenges in the automotive industry, such as improving vehicle performance, designing safer vehicles, and optimizing suspension systems. In biomechanics- musculoskeletal modelling of human body, I utilize my understanding of MBD to model and simulate the complex motions of human walking. Using trajectory optimization techniques, I can create realistic representations of two-dimensional and three-dimensional walking patterns of an above-knee prostheses wearer. My expertise is valuable for research in biomechanics, enabling advancements in prosthetics, rehabilitation, and ergonomic design.
