Multi-Agent Autonomous Vehicle Platooning Fall 2023 – Ongoing

[Toyota Funded Project]

· Engineered AI-driven network optimization models using multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL), reducing wireless communication latencies by 36% and fine-tuned 5G signal efficiency.

· Designed and introduced intent-sharing mechanisms, safety constraints, and reward functions (gap-keeping, jerk minimization, and string stability), leading to a 30% improvement in platoon stability and safety.

· Simulated a multi-agent environment, employing real-time visualization and logging to improve debugging by 40%, reducing training errors by 25%, and accelerating model convergence by 20%.

Metal Absorber Research Winter 2024

· Constructed a metamaterial unit cell with 99.8% absorption at 14.45 GHz, succeeding a compact size of 0.482λ × 0.482λ × 0.057λ.

· Modeled in Ansys HFSS, validating its potential for RF stealth, sensing, and EMI reduction.

Joint Transmission CoMP for High-Velocity UEs in 5G Summer 2022

· Analyzed ICI and Doppler shift effects, fostering a JT CoMP-based solution in MATLAB that improved cell-edge throughput by 35%.

· Increased mean throughput by 47% while evaluating trade-offs for high-velocity UEs.

· University of Windsor Entrance Scholarship (Fall 2023)

· ISCEA Ptak Prize, 2021 (60% Scholarship)
