Investigated ways to convert wasted energy (Exhaust Gas) during combustion into
electrical energy to power vehicle electrical systems. - Collected over 100 research titles related to automotive engineering within mechanical
engineering, reviewing various energy conversion techniques. - Used MATLAB software to compare analytical and numerical results.
- Employed MATLAB/Simulink Simscape to integrate energy converter components (e.g.,
turbine, generator). - Submitted required parameters and generated graphical results for analysis.
- Interpreted and compared the results with other energy conversion technologies such as
thermoelectric generators and Rankine cycles. - Conducted a comprehensive review of current research on intelligent control systems in
autonomous vehicles. - Reviewed and analyzed papers related to intelligent control, organizing them based on
research methods, publication repetition, and continuity.
RESEARCH INTERESTS - Vehicle System Dynamics and Control: Researching multibody dynamics, suspension
modeling, and control strategies to enhance ride comfort, stability, and handling
performance in ground vehicles. - Intelligent Mechanical Systems: Integration of artificial intelligence and adaptive
control in dynamic mechanical systems, with applications in autonomous vehicles and
smart mechanical design. Sustainable and Energy-Efficient Systems: Studying energy recovery mechanisms,
such as turbine-based systems, and the mechanics of sustainable transport technologies,
including electric and hybrid vehicle systems.
