WORK

Save Heat

Designed and manufactured a thermal sand battery with a 0.3°C discharging rate in a span of 14hrs. Device performed a 2x storage time, presenting a competitive advantage for sustainable energy storage in cost-sensitive markets.

Solar Water Heater

Designed and constructed a solar water heater from recyclable materials aimed to help under-resourced people to access hot water. This project was one of the 100 Global Winners in the Rise Challenge.

Chips-Graphere + Quantum Dots

Engineered 3 graphene-based photodetectors on silicon chips through nanofabrication and photolithography. Improved electrical conductivity of chips by applying quantum dot through spin coating techniques in cleanroom conditions.
