I am Md Irfan Khan, a mechanical engineer and researcher with a focus on collaborative Physical AI, digital twins, and smart manufacturing. I design and integrate intelligent systems that connect mechanical hardware, industrial controls, simulation, and data.

I have professional experience designing, prototyping, simulating, testing, and validating mechanical and automated systems. As a Graduate Research Assistant at the University of South Carolina, I work on smart manufacturing, digital twins, federated learning, and predictive maintenance. My research explores trustworthy, decentralized learning for robotic inspection and automation while protecting proprietary manufacturing data.
