I work on estimating slowly-varying physical parameters from observer residuals in resource-constrained embedded systems. Two application threads share this mathematical structure:
Embedded metrology without traceability infrastructure. Recovering measurement confidence in instruments that cannot be routinely calibrated against a reference standard.
Health-aware control in low-cost power electronics. Detecting and compensating degradation — winding resistance, back-EMF constant, brush voltage drop — online, inside the control loop, on commodity hardware.
Motivating context: environmental monitoring and off-grid energy access, where the instruments that most need calibration are the least likely to receive it.
dc-motor-fault-detection · in progress
Closed-loop testbed on STM32F407VG producing a reproducible fault dataset with physically quantified severity, plus comparative classifier evaluation. The contribution is the system and its instrumentation: fault injection is parameterized in physical units, not categorical labels.
