My background bridges mathematical control theory and full-stack experimental robotics. I specialize in the end-to-end research pipeline of autonomous and remotely operated vehicles—from nonlinear dynamic modelling and online probabilistic system identification (Augmented-State Unscented Kalman Filtering) to classical and nonlinear robust controller synthesis (Quantitative Feedback Theory, Adaptive Sliding Mode Control) and real-time embedded realization. At KFUPM's Interdisciplinary Research Center for Intelligent Manufacturing and Robotics (IRC-IMR), my research focuses on 6-DOF underwater vehicles and industrial subsea robotics with a particular focus on closing the simulation-to-reality gap through FPGA/DSP hardware-in-the-loop simulators, deterministic firmware, and custom power/control electronics.
