Below are some of my past projects, publications, and consultant work from clients, national labs, and internships.
Consulting
Evaluation, Measurement & Verification (EM&V) Overview
EM&V Overview - An introduction to the principles of EM&V, which ensures that energy efficiency programs achieve their intended results. While my client-based EM&V work is proprietary, I regularly conduct impact assessments, data analysis, and reporting to validate energy savings for utilities.
Heat Pump Metering Study
Heat Pump Metering Study - A comprehensive study on heat pump efficiency in Massachusetts and Connecticut during winter months. I supported the analytics team by processing large datasets to assess seasonal performance and survey responses.National Residential Efficiency Measures Database (REMD)
National Residential Efficiency Measures Database (REMD) - As part of a team updating the REMD dataset, I helped scrape retail energy pricing data and develop regression models to predict pricing trends for modelers and researchers.
Research & Publications
Hydrogen Storage System Design Tool
Hydrogen Publication - My first-author publication on a computational tool for designing adsorbent hydrogen storage systems in fuel cell vehicles. The tool integrates material properties, thermodynamic equations, and system-level modeling to optimize hydrogen storage performance.Pressure Plug Patent Request
Pressure Plug Patent Request - A patent submission for a low-profile, high-pressure hydrogen tank plug designed for submarine applications. I developed a CAD model for manufacturing and assisted in creating a test plan to validate performance under high pressure.
National Lab E-Database Idea Pitch
National Lab E-Database Pitch - My proposal for a centralized electronic research database to improve time efficiency and knowledge-sharing across the national lab.National Lab Research
A few images from my time at the national lab. I worked on flow cell batteries in glove boxes and explored novel 3D printing techniques. The syringe extruder shown was used for preliminary testing of wet carbon fiber-reinforced cement, with frosting and toothpaste serving as test materials for easy cleanup. (It also makes for a fun story.)
Internships
Internship at Nuclear Power Plant
A collage from my time interning at California’s only nuclear power plant, where I gained hands-on experience in power generation and system operations.- Nuclear Power Plant Systems Drawing
A schematic I developed during my internship to illustrate the power generation cycle. I found it quite useful for understanding thermodynamic principles in action.

Internship for Mechanical Design
This Canada-based internship focused on mechanical design for railway maintenance equipment. One of the more amusing moments was a company-wide gathering where we formed a maple leaf, wore red noses, and received bottles of maple syrup as gifts.
