Areas of past work
The success of clean-energy R&D often depends on whether the underlying physics can work at a useful efficiency, current density, or scale. Simulation is one of the few ways to answer those questions before you commit to hardware.
Novel solar
I contributed simulation work to a novel solar technology that is in development.
Flow batteries
I have modeled multiple flow-battery chemistries and cell architectures. The models covered transport, electrochemistry, and crossover effects relevant to grid-scale storage.
Fusion modeling
I co-authored a journal article in Physics of Plasmas on a windowless gas-target concept (“Lasergate”) for laser preheat in magnetized liner inertial fusion (MagLIF).
