Research
My research interests lie at the intersection of power electronics, energy storage, and control, with a particular focus on how such systems evolve over long time horizons and shape future technological infrastructure.
Primary Interests
- DC–DC converters and high-efficiency power electronic topologies
- Bidirectional converters for battery energy storage systems
- Battery Management Systems (BMS)
- State-of-Charge (SoC) and State-of-Health (SoH) estimation
- Control of power electronic and energy systems
Current Directions
I am currently exploring high-efficiency converter design for battery applications, with an emphasis on realistic operating conditions, long-term degradation, and system-level trade-offs rather than idealized performance metrics.
In parallel, I am interested in machine learning and data-driven methods for battery modeling, particularly in regimes where traditional physics-based models struggle to capture complex aging behavior.
Broader Questions
Beyond immediate technical challenges, I am interested in broader questions such as:
- How should energy systems be evaluated over decades rather than years?
- What are the limits of efficiency, reliability, and control in large-scale storage?
- How can engineering remain grounded in physical reality while using data-driven tools?
Publications & Talks
Selected conference papers and publications will be listed here.
Writing & Notes
Alongside formal research, I write informal notes and short essays. These are not polished publications, but attempts to clarify my thinking and explore ideas while they are still forming.
