🔬 Research Experience

Optimizing Building Energy Efficiency with Phase Change Materials

For my senior-year thesis, I explored how Phase Change Materials (PCMs) can make buildings more energy-efficient. Using Design Builder and Energy Plus, I simulated how these materials react to different climate conditions in Bangladesh and measured their potential to reduce energy consumption. The goal was to see if integrating PCMs could make buildings more sustainable by cutting down on power usage, especially in regions with extreme temperature variations.

Automated Solar Tracking for Smarter Energy Storage

In my third-year project, I developed an automated single-axis solar tracking system to improve solar panel efficiency. Using Arduino and C++, I built a system that adjusts solar panels to follow the sun for maximum power generation. The project also evaluated how this approach compares to traditional static solar panels in terms of efficiency and battery storage performance.
