Mina Nematiandoost graduated with a bachelor of technology in power and energy from McMaster University, where she developed a strong foundation in robotics, mechanical design, simulation, software, automation, and instrumentation. With a deep understanding of power systems and energy management, she has built expertise across various engineering disciplines, focusing on problem-solving and the integration of innovative solutions.
Currently, Mina is pursuing her M.A.Sc. in electrical and computer engineering under the supervision of Dr. Ali Emadi and co-supervision of Dr. Narimani, at McMaster University. Her research focuses on autonomous vehicles, with particular emphasis on lane detection, control algorithms, and simulation. She has contributed to the development of lane centering and lane-keeping control systems for the McMaster EcoCAR EV Challenge, working extensively with object-oriented programming in both software and hardware environments to validate algorithms under real-world driving conditions.
In addition to her research, Mina has collaborated with MathWorks, focusing on state-of-charge estimation and the identification and optimization of electrical battery cell model parameters. This collaboration has further strengthened her expertise in electric vehicle technologies.
Beyond her academic and research pursuits, Mina has been actively involved in theatrical and musical performances and previously served as the captain of her junior school soccer team, leading them to a second-place finish in the provincial championship in Isfahan, Iran. These experiences have helped shape her passion for art, music, and sports.
