Pedestrian Emergency Braking in Ten Weeks
Published in 2022 IEEE International Conference on Vehicular Electronics and Safety, 2022
This paper is about an implementation of a pedestrian detection and braking scheme I applied to an autonomous vehicle during an NSF REU at UNLV.

ICVES Proceeding talk on Implementation of Pedestrian Braking Algorithm
Published:
In this talk, I discussed the contents of my paper and my implementation of a pedestrian braking algorithm for an autonomous vehicle platform. This was a project that I completed during an REU at UNLV.
Talk on Data-Driven Control for Nonlinear Systems Using Semi-Definite Programming
Published:
In this talk, I discussed results on semidefinite programming for linear control design and a potential extension to nonlinear systems. I present an investigation of connecting stabilizability of the system to feasibility of the semidefinite program for control design. I also show analysis for specific classes of nonlinear systems.
