Later I pursued my Ph.D. in Hybrid Electric Vehicle with Control Systems Group, Department of Mechanical Engineering at Imperial College London, United Kingdom.
Since 2002, I have worked at some of the world's leading universities and industrial research centers. I have 10 years of experience in leading cutting-edge research and developing commercial products and solution for industries. My work has resulted in several research papers published in reputed journals and conferences, as well as multiple patents.
During my academic career i have maintained close collaboration with industry partners, where I conceptualized and completed numerous industrial projects—all these details are available in my CV, research statement, teaching statements, technology brochures and representative publications.
