-Thesis topic: Development and Implementation of a Cascade Torque Controller for a Motor Test rig with a data-driven approach. -Hardware Tools: Motor Test Rig, dSPACE Simulator, LTi Servo Drives, Torque Transducer. -Software Tools: MATLAB/SIMULINK, dSPACE HIL architecture, dSPACE ControlDesk, Latex. -Skills: Control Systems Design · MATLAB · HIL · dSPACE · System Identification · Simulink

- Worked on the research, design, simulation and implementation of a feedback control system for contact-based aerial manipulation on an underactuated multirotor copter. - Able to propose a functioning control algorithm for attitude control subsystem and a manipulator compliant design for contact-based inspection tasks. - Tools: Matlab/Simulink, ROS/Gazebo, Python, Linux Ubuntu, Solidworks, Bresser REX 3D Printer.

- Instruct students in the Laboratory/Practical Training sessions in the course System Theory and Control. - Topics covered: Closed-loop control, Dynamic system characterization, PID Controller Implementation.

- Job shadowing of machine operators and support the reading of technical drawings. - Acquired industry knowledge in metal processing including CNC/NC turning, milling and heat treatment.

- Carried out calculation report for the required rated power of the electric motor used in conveyor belt products. This resulted in a 25% cost reduction from lower required motor specs without affect conveyor performance. - Hands-on experience with the assembly and finishing of various industrial workbench models and shelves.

- Carried out market/industry researches and corporate diligent analyses that covered Vietnam's material manufacturing and industrial sectors. - Communicated with companies' representatives and other stakeholders. Gained insights about business models, production technologies and key competencies of different companies. - Published 18 in-depth industry-standard reports about producers of steel, cement, plastic pipe, quartz countertop, water tank, tile and other materials.

Overall Grade: 1.6 My student projects: • Investigated driving safety and comfort by simulating the vertical dynamics of the vehicle suspension system with a quarter-car model using MATLAB/Simulink • Modeling and simulation of the braking of vehicles with and without ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) in Simulink • Developed a mechanical lawn sprinkler concept with built-in wind compensation function in a group from conceptualization, and calculation to CAD Model Validation and Documentation.
