BMW Group
Simulated Electrical Power Steering (EPS) system in Dymola.
Developed a simulation-based, system-dependent methodology employing Cauer thermal network modeling to characterize transient short-circuit failure behavior in power electronic components and assess failure criticality based on system state monitoring against ISO 26262 permissible operating limits.
Experimentally validated simulation results through controlled short-circuit fault injection tests on EPS hardware, confirming non-critical failures and reducing the estimated Failure-In-Time rate of the EPS system by up to 80%.

Research Intern at the Department for Automation Technology
Hörmann Logistik GmbH
Analyzed and assessed the current state of PLC code modularity based on state-of-the-art modularity standards.
Proposed a hierarchical, modular code architecture with three levels: plant (core functions: alerts, mode activation), application (project-specific, encapsulated modules), and base (standardized, reusable modules for hardware control).
Demonstrated proof of concept by distributing the conveyor rotary table’s functionality across the three levels.
