Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAhmad Kourani is a mechatronics and robotics engineer with eight years of experience turning control theory into fielded systems, currently a Research Associate at the American University of Beirut. He has led practical projects from route-optimization feasibility for digital marketplaces and semantic point-cloud segmentation for autonomous driving to Software-in-the-Loop mobility simulators and hydraulic servo control for off-highway vehicles. Ahmad blends embedded control, MATLAB/Simulink modeling, and PLC implementation—delivering solutions such as autotuning schemes for PMSM elevator motors and adaptive robust controllers for UAVs. Based in Beirut, he pairs ongoing PhD-level research in mechatronics with hands-on consulting for industry, a combination that makes him comfortable moving between algorithm development and on-site deployment. An uncommonly practical researcher, he routinely closes the loop by validating advanced controllers directly on customer hardware.
