- Programming SWs: MATLAB, Python, C/C, Java, MS Office Suite
- Project Leadership, Continuous integration, Technology resource integration
Manufacturing Expertise:
- Casting, Extrusions, Stamping/welded, and forging parts
Research
- Thermally Self-sustained Micro Solid-Oxide Fuel Cell stack with High power density, Graduate, Developed a Single Chamber Fuel cell. The operation temperature has been reduced to 500–600 C, The time from cold-start to stable power output was typically less than 1 min. Results demonstrate the viability of high-energy-density hydrocarbon fuels for portable power applications. Self-initiation of the power generator may be possible.
