About

Vision:

As a researcher, my goal is to involve in high-quality research and develop my knowledge in physical sciences related to motion, systems' behaviour, stability and control, specifically on vehicle system dynamics. I am keen to contribute to the development of sustainable future vehicles by further developing the vehicle dynamics and control science through theories, experiments, and discoveries. In my opinion, a perfect research project is the one which involves a strong theoretical background with clear assumptions, includes new discoveries, is validated through deliberately-designed experiments, and is reported clearly to provide a realistic polished idea to both the academic and the industrial worlds.

As an engineer with extensive mechanical engineering background, my goal is to get challenged and learn practically to build upon my academic knowledge and to apply this in the industry in engineering design, optimisation, dynamics and control, modelling and simulation, automation, and contribute to the research and development of sustainable products.

Education:

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering

RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia

Thesis: Modelling, Analysis, and Control of Four-Wheel Independently Actuated Vehicles at Handling Limit

Summary: The research deals with dynamic analysis of vehicles when they start sliding in an undesirable manner. The aim of the research is to stabilise the vehicles in such a condition (drifting) and autonomously bring them back to safe driving condition. Extensive and novel dynamic analysis of vehicles in sliding has been performed and innovative suggestions for stabilisation of the vehicle is made.

Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Mechanical Engineering

Middle East Technical University (METU), Ankara, Turkey

Thesis: Modelling, Simulation, and Active Control of Tractor-Semitrailer Combinations

Summary: The project deals with improving articulated heavy vehicle’s manoeuvrability in low-speed and stability in high-speed by means of active semitrailer steering. Linear Quadratic Regulator control strategy is considered for this purpose and the results showed remarkable improvement in heavy vehicle’s dynamic response.

Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Mechanical Engineering

K. N. Toosi University of Technology (KNTU), Tehran, Iran

Thesis: Vehicle Dynamic Control for a Three-Wheeled Vehicle Using Tilt Mechanism

Summary: Stability of three-wheeled narrow vehicles has been studied and control of an assistive mechanism is investigated. The mechanism tilts the vehicle towards inside the turns to improve vehicle’s roll stability, similar to a turning motorcycle.
