Hi! I'm Bharatraj, an Electrical and Computer Engineering student at MSU, currently serving as the Embedded Software Lead for our Formula SAE team. Beyond the shop I participate in hackathons and am involved in MOO research.
Embedded Software Lead for our Formula SAE team. Currently working on redesigning all in house modules to be STM32 based from earlier teensy based modules. I previously served as the Low Voltage Power Lead where I was responsible for system integration and our motorsports wiring harness.
Runner-up at SpartaHack 11 with AutoSpot: a computer vision powered solo lifting safety system. I architected the control system using a Teensy 4.1 and L298 logic controller driving a high-torque worm gear assembly, capable of a 150 lb vertical lift for under $70.
Involved in Multi Objective Optimization research under Professor Kalyanmoy Deb, developing a custom region based domination framework built for any non domination algorithms. Currently reimplementing in Python using PYMOO for improved flexibility.
