Presentation Abstract
The development of intelligent autonomous systems and algorithms plays a pivotal role across various sectors, including robotics, autonomous vehicles, and healthcare. My research primarily focuses on the integration of advanced control systems, machine learning, and optimization techniques to improve the efficiency, accuracy, and functionality of these systems. Significant contributions include the development of a Bezier Curve Trajectory Planner (BTP) for optimal trajectory planning in robotics, which has demonstrated superior performance in simulations and real-world applications compared to existing planners. In addition, the research extends into autonomous vehicle navigation at intersections. Furthermore, machine learning algorithms were developed for automated car claims, energy management, and healthcare applications.
Candidate Bio
Amna Mazen holds a BS and MSc in Electrical and Power Engineering from Fayoum University, Egypt, obtained in 2013 and 2018, respectively. She is currently pursuing a PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Detroit Mercy, Detroit, Mich. with an anticipated completion date of July 2024. Her doctoral research focuses on trajectory optimization for multiple robots operating in unknown environments.
Mazen possesses a decade of teaching experience, with five years spent teaching at Fayoum University in Egypt. Since 2019, she has served as a Teaching and Research Assistant in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Detroit Mercy.
Her research interests encompass robotics, deep learning, and artificial intelligence.”
