Development engineer focusing on Simulation in the field of fuel cells

"Analysis, Implementation and Application of EIS Technology on PEM Fuel cells" As a Master Thesis Student, I: - Conducted extensive Literature review on Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) on electrochemical cells (Fuel cells and Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) cells) - Created a Program on MATLAB to perform mathematical operations on Time-domain data to obtain the impedance at particular frequencies - Conducted and analyzed the result of an EIS test on an LFP cell to obtain its internal properties

As a WiHi for a hydrogen fuel cell (PEM) research project at the FH Aachen University of Applied Sciences, I: - Develop Control Systems for optimising the operation of hydrogen fuel cells. - Automate the test bench using MATLAB/Simulink and Stateflow. - Acquire and analyze Data from the test bench operation. - Design Layouts for the interfacing, using dSPACE ControlDesk Software. - Carry out MIL, SIL and HIL Tests for the control system. - Assist in Assembly and electronic set up at the test bench.

As a part of a Praxis Projekt in e-Mobility at the FH Aachen University of Applied Sciences, my tasks are to: - Develop a forward model for determining the energy consumption of the electric vehicle. - Develop and simulate various aggregates like Longitudinal dynamics, Motor Control Unit, and Battery systems. - Test and obtain results from the model, to compare it with real time results to optimize the model for increased accuracy.

Worked in Component Test Laboratory, Product Development Division. Responsibilities : - Performance and Endurance Testing of various components - Inertial and Reaction based testing - Handling Tests on the Multi Axis Simulation Table (MAST) - Evaluation and Analysis of Data before and after the tests and suggesting possible improvements to the Designers - Responsible for the testing and validation of the synchronizer pack of a newly developed in-House 6 Speed Manual Transmission
