About me
I am a Thermal Engineer and Research Assistant specialising in heat transfer, computational modelling, energy-efficient building design, and green hydrogen systems. My research focuses on the application of numerical simulation, analytical modelling, and material-based approaches to improve solid-state hydrogen storage performance and building energy efficiency in cold and temperate climates.
My technical expertise includes COMSOL Multiphysics, ANSYS, MATLAB, SolidWorks, Python, and LaTeX. My research interests span solid-state hydrogen storage, microchannels and micro-heat exchangers, passive building strategies, thermal insulation materials, moisture and condensation risk, and techno-economic and environmental assessment of energy-efficient solutions.
