I am a second year Ph.D. student of Electrical Engineering at Michigan Technological University. I am a Graduate Research Assistant under supervision of Dr. Lucia Gauchia and have been working in the Energy Storage Laboratory since spring 2014.
Currently my research focus is to develop an efficient charge controller for an self sustaining 3D printer powered by photovoltaic panels. My previous research work includes,
- Designing and testing an accurate single cell li-ion battery to be used in an electric vehicle for driving on different road conditions.
- The application of Energy storage system in frequency regulating reserve constrained unit commitment.
- Vehicle to Grind and it's effects on the distribution network.

- Charge Controller for Solar Powered RepRap
A RepRap is a self-replicating 3D printer. These printers are designed to be light and portable. Developers of this printing initiative have the desire to widespread these printers to underprivileged area as a means of decentralization of the industrial production infrastructure. It can only be possible if the printers can harvest some alternative energy (i.e solar). To operate these using PV cells, a solar powered application with a battery backup specifically designed to match the needs of the RepRap is required. The voltage and current requirement for the printer demands the use of buck along with a bi-directional DC converters to ensure the proper operation. This project aims to design a novel charge controller for the RepRap which will efficiently maintain the distribution of energy through robust and agile PI controllers. The system was designed an ODE system and tested for different operational condition in Simulink.
