Hi 👋 I'm Sassan

Embedded Systems • FPGA Development • Robotics • AI/ML • Control & Automation

A passionate about building intelligent hardware–software systems; from embedded microcontrollers and FPGAs to AI/ML pipelines running on edge devices, cubesats, and drones.


🔭 What I'm Working On

  • 🛰 FPGA Development @ Space Concordia
    Designing and implementing hardware pipelines for real-time processing and onboard autonomy.

  • 🚀 Software/Hardware Lead — SC-FRYER Cubesat Competition Project
    Leading AI/ML-based wildfire recognition using RGB/NIR imaging for low-power, on-orbit inference.
    Focused on sensor fusion, image pipelines, neural-network quantization, and hardware deployment.

  • 🤖 Robotics, Control Systems & Embedded Intelligence
    Building systems that bridge electronics, firmware, and control from motor controllers and sensors
    to high-level autonomy and perception.


📚 Academia & Research

  • 🔍 Applied AI/ML + Image Processing Research (Concordia University)
    Recently contributed to a research project on rotation-aware object detection in aerial imagery,
    including multi-dataset evaluation (HRSC2016, DOTA, NWPU) and PyTorch implementation
    — as described in my uploaded paper. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

  • 🧠 Research areas I'm involved/interested in:

    • Aerial & satellite image analysis
    • Oriented object detection
    • Deep learning for onboard systems
    • Signal & sensor processing
    • Applied computer vision
    • Intelligent embedded systems
    • AI for resource-constrained environments (space, robotics, edge devices)

🛠 Engineering Focus

I work across the full stack of intelligent hardware–software systems:

  • Embedded Systems & Firmware (C, C++, ARM Cortex, ESP32, STM32, FreeRTOS)
  • FPGA Development (Verilog/VHDL, hardware pipelines, DSP, image-processing accelerators)
  • Electronics & PCB Design (KiCad, Altium; digital/analog interfaces, sensor boards)
  • Robotics & Mechatronics (control systems, actuation, state estimation)
  • AI/ML for Edge Devices (quantization, optimization, deployment)
  • Computer Vision + Image Processing (OpenCV, PyTorch, RGB/NIR pipelines)
  • Aerospace Systems Engineering (embedded autonomy, reduced-power computation)

💻 Programming & Tools I Use

  • Languages: C, C++, Python, Verilog/VHDL, MATLAB, HDL-based tooling
  • Frameworks: PyTorch, OpenCV, ROS/ROS2
  • Hardware: FPGAs, microcontrollers, SBCs (Raspberry Pi, Jetson), sensors, NIR cameras
  • Dev Tools: Git, Linux, Docker, Vivado, MATLAB/Simulink, KiCad
  • Other Interests: control theory, competitive programming, spacecraft electronics

What I Like

  • Building robots and real-time systems
  • Designing electronics and debugging on the oscilloscope
  • Writing clean embedded firmware
  • Implementing FPGA accelerators for heavy vision workloads
  • Doing AI/ML research on real datasets with real constraints
  • Working on anything related to space or aerospace autonomy
  • Exploring new ideas at the intersection of hardware, software, and intelligence
