Faculty

I have received my PhD in Gyroscopes and Navigation Systems from Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, “National Technical university of Ukraine”, after finishing my master's degree in Kyiv, and undergraduate in IRAN. I am motivated about Driverless Cars and Autonomous Driving, Active Safety, Sensors, Robotics and Control Theory. I have published 7 papers and have presented my work in several international conferences.
I have a lovely son and a wonderful husband. I enjoy playing classical guitar and painting.
In addition I am the Editor in chief of IEEE ITS Podcast and an active member of the editorial board of the conferences.

• A Suspension System for an All-Terrain Vehicle, Design and development of  a novel suspension system for a six wheeled rover using the Double Lambda Suspension with a triangular chassis. The proposed design provides higher wheel articulations, more than twice the wheel diameter, than present designs. The novel design offers substantial improvements and overcomes major drawbacks like bogie overturning, while reducing the overall complexity of the design. The integration of omnidirectional wheels enables holonomic motion, allowing the rover to manoeuvre smoothly in any direction, a significant enhancement over traditional wheel designs. This feature is particularly advantageous in extraterrestrial terrains and complex landscapes, where unpredictable obstacles are common. The combination of advanced wheel articulation, superior stability, and robust design philosophy marks a significant advancement in rover technology, paving the way for more efficient exploration and operation in challenging environments.

• An Automated Material Handling System, For a small or light weighted products, the existing automated material handling can do the job while for the heavy products, queuing of the products becomes necessary as it is always associated with pre or post processing tasks. Thus, this system can boost the productivity of any small/ large scale industries which has a requirement of queuing the heavy pallets/carts. This method requires less set-up area on the factory floor, is relatively cheaper and runs on low maintenance and so this method gives the added advantage to the small to medium scale industries. The system is adaptable to potential changes in the factory layout. With additional modifications, this method can also be effective for the industries following the Product oriented layout (continuous flow). Thus, it has the flexibility to be implemented as per the needs of the industries.
