NYU Abu Dhabi · RTA Dubai World Challenge for Self-Driving Transport
Designed and integrated the delivery octarotor mechatronics and supported competition deployment that won First Prize at the RTA Dubai World Challenge.
Case File2024
NYU Abu Dhabi · SMART Lab
Contributed to the multi-agent exploration system and its Journal of Field Robotics publication — cooperative mapping with human-in-the-loop teleoperation for construction-site data collection.
Case File2013–2016
NYU Abu Dhabi · with University of Ottawa

SOP-28 SOCKET — LOCKED PROCESSOR UNDER TEST
Case File2017
NYU Abu Dhabi · with Ozgur Sinanoglu's hardware-security group
Led electronics design and fabrication of the ASIC validation PCB — schematic, layout, in-house fabrication, and silicon bring-up for the ACM CCS 2017 logic-locking work.
Case File2020–2022
NYU Abu Dhabi · CAIR
System integration and experimental development across the CAIR UAV perception thread — arena instrumentation, RGB-T PTZ pipelines, and field validation that underpins six peer-reviewed papers (2020–2022).
Case File2023
NYU Abu Dhabi · Kinesis Lab / CTP · RISC Lab · ACCESS

Case File2012
NYU Abu Dhabi · Interactive Robots and Media Lab (IRML)
First-author development of the UAV–UGV hybrid pilot: aerial mapping into ground-robot path planning, published at FIT 2012.
Case File2010–2012
Interactive Robots and Media Lab (IRML)
Built the motion-capture teleoperation pipeline from optical tracking through kinematic retargeting to live industrial-arm control; published at IRIS 2010.
Case File2010–2011
Interactive Robots and Media Lab (IRML)
Maintained and upgraded the android telepresence actuation and wiring hardware — electromechanical support contributing to the HRI 2011 workshop paper.
