    <li>
  <strong>Twin-embedded MPC for longitudinal/lateral vehicle control</strong><br><br>
  Development of a high-fidelity, physics-based vehicle dynamics simulator in <a href="https://modelica.org/">Modelica</a>/<a href="https://www.3ds.com/it/products/catia/dymola">Dymola</a>, integrated with a digital twin for predictive control tasks.<br><br>
  <strong>Key question: Can we reliably initialize a simulator using observed vehicle states?</strong><br><br>
  <strong>Tools & Skills:</strong> Modelica/Dymola, Python, Matlab, Simulink<br><br>
  <ul>
    <li><em>Development of physics-based digital twin</em></li>
    <li><em>Integration with Model Predictive Control frameworks</em></li>
    <li><em>Development of black-box non-linear controller (e.g., <a href="https://github.com/bayesian-optimization/BayesianOptimization">Bayesian Optimization [BO]</a>)</em></li>
    <li><em>Testing in simulation</em></li>
  </ul>
