Are you interested in how the digital revolution affects the automotive sector? Then, attend the #PhD defense of our colleague Thijs Devos.
The automotive sector aims to enhance vehicle safety, comfort, and performance through the implementation of Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS). As the industry investigates the use of digital twins to increase market flexibility and reduce development costs, this research focused on creating a practical digital twin framework. The digital twin features vehicle dynamics models, virtual sensing methodologies, and a parameter synchronization tool to maintain model accuracy. Key innovations include a virtual sensing framework that optimizes sensor use and an algorithm that ranks sensors by their impact on estimation performance. The practical application of this framework is demonstrated in real-time estimation algorithms validated on various vehicles, showcasing the digital twin as a helpful tool for analyzing vehicle design and dynamics.

I am thrilled to announce that I have completed my MSc in Automotive Engineering, achieving 1:1 Honours at the prestigious Cranfield University ! 🚗✅ This was an exceptional journey filled with motivation from my professors, university, friends, and family. 🙌
My thesis provided a comprehensive technical review of lithium-air batteries, optimizing cell-level performance and rigorously evaluating system requirements for enabling viability in electric vehicles.🔋 Simulation models demonstrated the vast superior energy density potential of lithium-air over conventional lithium-ion technology.⚡️ However, the findings conclusively showed that key limitations around packaging, air handling, and current density must be addressed before lithium-air batteries can fulfill their immense promise to transform the EV industry.🚘 I am incredibly grateful to my amazing supervisor VERONICA MARCHANTE, for helping me through this research and simulation work on an evolving battery chemistry with tremendous potential.🙏
My academic pursuits covered a spectrum of pivotal automotive modules, encompassing Vehicle Design Propulsion and Performance, Powertrain Simulation and Performance, Automotive Control and Simulation, Vehicle Structures, Vehicle Materials and Manufacturing, Vehicle Dynamics, Vehicle Electrification and Hybridization, Automotive Aerodynamics, and Automotive Engineering Design Project. 📚
I extend sincere thanks to Cranfield University and my outstanding professors for arming me with invaluable knowledge and skills to forge a career in the design of sustainable and technologically advanced vehicles🏫👨🏫.
As I embark on the next chapter of my professional journey, I eagerly seek connections with industry professionals advancing transportation technologies. My unparalleled passion for the automotive industry fuels my anticipation to contribute my expertise within a team pushing the boundaries of possibility in this transformative era of mobility! 🚀

Our paper ‘Augmented reality for supporting the interaction between pedestrians and automated vehicles: An experimental outdoor study’ has been accepted and published!
In the article, we present the results from a real-world #AR user study that investigated the impact of AR #interfaces which support safe pedestrian-vehicle interactions. Our findings showed that using AR interfaces was more preferred and effective than having no interface. Preference was also based on design elements like placement, salience, and visual attention requirements. We conclude that as AR gains prominence, the need for human-subject studies in real-world settings becomes crucial. The study offers insights into the potential benefits and challenges of implementing AR in real-world scenarios.
I am proud of my MSc student Thomas Aleva for the work conducted during this project. I thank our co-authors Prof. Joost de Winter and Dr. Dimitra Dodou for their invaluable contributions to the project and article. Finally, I would also like to thank the editor and reviewers for their time and valuable feedback.
Happy reading.
