4. Motivational goals I aim to specialise in Precision Instruments under Extreme Conditions , focusing on sensor fusion-based environmental surveillance and autonomous decision-making with embedded devices that can be mounted on robots and drones. I am eager to get my Master supervision from Professor Pang Zongqiang and excel in this domain as my Bachelor Final Year Project involved P eltier Module that freezes on one side when the voltage is applied across it. My coursework closely aligns with this program, particularly in Instrumentation & Measurement Systems, Power Electronics, Industrial Automation, and Control Engineering. My strong foundation in Numerical Analysis, Probability and Statistics, and Advanced Robotics will support my studies at NJUPT. 4 /15

5. Skills and Experiences I developed skills in circuit design, Python, C, C++, and sensor integration. Semester projects allowed me to work with various controllers, including Raspberry Pi, Arduino , and Intel FPGA boards. I gained practical experience using software such as LabVIEW , Simulink, and MATLAB. For instance, in the Shell Eco-Marathon, I designed a battery management system and a buck-boost converter using high-grade MOSFETs. My efforts were recognized with the Best Final Year Project award and a prestigious National Research Grant, which led to a published conference paper . During my Internship at Pakistan Ordinance Factories, I acquired knowledge about the Security Control System, Fire Prevention Methods, Production Designs , and Radar System Control. I also observed the functioning of Fire & Gas Suppression systems, Fire & Foam Water systems, Sprinkler systems, and the usage of safety equipment to prevent severe injury. 5 /15

6. Skills and Experiences Most Recently a s an Asset Integrity Engineer, I developed expertise in safety engineering, focusing on Electrical assets and Instrumentation . In this role, I became proficient in Aspen HYSYS, a crucial tool in the process industry for computerized maintenance management. Throughout my job, I contributed to asset lifecycle analysis of E&I, and SCADA system improvements, providing efficient risk management. To further enhance my professional skills, I pursued several key certifications, including specialized training in Risk Management and Project Management , bolstering my capabilities in Electronic Information Systems. 6 /15

19. Master Research Plan at NJUPT Purposed Title: Integrating Gas Sensors, LiDAR , Thermal Camera, and Temperature Sensors to Improve Harsh Environment Monitoring and Maintain Sensor Integrity Main Objectives: To enhance the overall system performance of the Harsh Environment Surveillance System. To reduce sensor degradation for optimal and prolong operation using feed-back control. To test the designed control unit on different catastrophic areas and obtain good quality data for enhanced robustness. Scope: Fusion of signals from the information sensors and removing their errors. Implementing it on small-scale drone for surveillance in harsh conditions. The system must be able to communicate in the GPS-denied area efficiently. Research publication in top journals (As guided by the Professor ). 19 /15

20. Master Research Plan at NJUPT Methodology: Following methodology in this research will be followed but it will be discussed for improvements and finalized upon the guidance of the potential supervisor: 1. In the first step, the data from the different electronic information sensors will be read in localized ambient. 2. Complex computation such as Model Predictive Control or Adaptive Control will be implicated in a proposed controller. For instance, STM32, Beagle Bone, or Jetson Nano. 3. LiDAR will monitor the overall condition of the environment by generating a point cloud mapping, which will be further filtered by a noise removal algorithm (Standard or Inverse Kalman Algorithm ) for refined results. 4. In the control unit, corrections will be made further by the feed-back loop control implementation. 5. This data will also help in the quick positioning of the drone and improvised 3D mapping. 6. After feed-back loop analysis by the controller, which sensor is performing low could be checked; based on its faulty reading. This will make the whole control unit more self-dependent and durable. Outcome : This research will provide an integrated intercommunication system between multiple sensory modules which will be efficiently mounted on drones and also aims to overcome the problem of noise and sensor degradation faced during data acquisition in rough environmental conditions. 20 /15

21. Key Research Questions The monitoring of extreme environmental conditions has become crucial due to escalating climate change and natural catastrophes. Traditional in-person monitoring methods pose significant risks and limitations for human observers. This research explores innovative solutions to enhance our ability to track and respond to extreme events while minimizing human exposure to hazardous conditions . Here are 5 potential key research questions extracted and simplified from this study plan: How can we effectively monitor extreme conditions without relying solely on human presence? What role can automated systems play in tracking climate-related changes compared to traditional in-person monitoring? How can we improve early warning systems for natural catastrophes to reduce the need for human exposure? What are the main challenges faced by field workers when monitoring extreme environmental conditions? How can we integrate technology with human expertise to better predict and respond to climate-related events? 21 /21
