Biography  (Koushik Samanta)

I worked as a Research Engineer at Mercedes-Benz in Bengaluru, focusing on Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) validation of electric drive systems. My efforts included building Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines with Jenkins and ECU-TEST to automate regression testing, as well as exploring generative AI for drive scenario simulations.

I completed my Master's by Research in E-Mobility at IIT Guwahati, where I developed a cloud-based testing and management system for lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles. This system facilitated onboard computation through parameter estimation. Additionally, I hold a Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) in Electrical Engineering from Techno India College.

I am now eager to delve into observer design and system identification, leveraging my experience from the battery project to address intelligent energy management in renewable systems.
