Bio
Mohammad’s research focused on developing a physics-informed, data-driven algorithm leveraging Koopman Operator
theory.
His work involves designing and implementing deep autoencoder architectures in pytorch to model high-
dimensional state space models. These models support the development of Model Predictive Control (MPC) strategies,
enhancing real-time path planning and decision-making capabilities for autonomous vehicles.
