My project experience includes rainwater-based cooling for data centres, direct solar regeneration for liquid desiccant air conditioning, PV ray-tracing tools, BIPV shading analysis and low-concentration photovoltaic simulation.
I modelled and evaluated cistern systems to support water use optimisation and infrastructure planning. I analysed rainwater-based cooling systems, investigated passive and active cooling strategies, collected and interpreted experimental data, and validated simulation results through controlled laboratory testing.
I designed prototypes of solar collectors/regenerators, executed controlled experiments, interpreted experimental results, developed heat and mass transfer correlations with machine-learning techniques, and created finite-difference models for modified collector/regenerator designs.
I contributed to computational tools for renewable systems, photovoltaic analysis, shadow patterns, concentration behavior and performance evaluation in solar and wind contexts.
I contributed research related to shading losses, building-integrated photovoltaic technologies and energy performance analysis for architecture and building systems.
I developed Wolfram Mathematica tools to determine concentration patterns generated by flat-bottom reflectors throughout the day and seasons. The simulations showed that flat reflectors can increase collected solar radiation by around 10%.
I developed tools in Borland C++ and Wolfram Mathematica to assess the apparent movement of the Sun and ray-tracing behaviour on corrugated V-shaped reflectors, quantifying concentration patterns on a collector surface.
