MathWorks

As a Senior Software Engineer at MathWorks, I helped advance capabilities in Vehicle Network Toolbox and Lidar Toolbox. My work included adding support for advanced Velodyne LiDAR sensors (including 64 and 128-laser models), and designing robust solutions for reading and writing industry-standard automotive file formats such as A2L, BLF, and CDF. I implemented communication protocol support for CAN, CAN FD, and XCP to help customers simulate, test, and analyze automotive networks. These projects involved developing functional prototypes, authoring detailed architectural design documents, and contributing to high-impact features that continue to serve a global user base.

I also played a central role in the development of several major toolboxes used by engineers and researchers across automotive and industrial domains. I was a primary contributor to the Industrial Communication Toolbox, where I led the integration of OSIsoft PI System support—an essential feature for users working with industrial data historians. This work was a key part of a successful new product launch and enabled streamlined access to real-time and archived plant data from within MATLAB and Simulink.

I also performed discovery work on V2X while part of the VNT team. I have investigated industry standards - such as DSRC (Dedicated Short-Range Communication, 802.11p) and C-V2X – and held preliminary discussions with various toolbox teams (LTE, 5G, WLAN) to determine the roles each of our toolboxes will play.

It seems inevitable that V2X communication will become another dimension of ADAS, adding to the sensor fusion mix of cameras, radars and lidars. Communication with other vehicles, infrastructure, and pedestrian devices will prove invaluable.
