About

Paniz Hazaveh is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of automation, robotics, and sustainable systems. Her primary research focus is on integrating programmable logic controllers (PLC) with computer vision to create intelligent, real-world solutions. Her most cited work, "Robot Vision-based Waste Recycling Sorting with PLC as Centralized Controller" (2023, 9 citations), exemplifies this approach by designing a robotic sorting system that uses vision sensors and a PLC to automatically identify and recover recyclable materials from waste streams. This project, developed as part of an advanced PLC course at Michigan Technological University, demonstrates her ability to translate complex control theory into practical, environmentally impactful automation. By combining sensor-based detection with centralized robotic control, Hazaveh’s work contributes directly to the advancement of smart recycling technologies, addressing critical challenges in waste management and resource recovery. Her research highlights the potential of low-cost, scalable automation to improve efficiency in industrial and municipal recycling processes, marking her as an emerging voice in the fields of industrial robotics and sustainable engineering.
