Academic History[edit | edit source]

Presently a Graduate Electrical Engineering student at Michigan Technological University. Achieved Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering Degree from Pune University, Maharashtra (India). Developed an interest in solar photo-voltaic technology in High School itself while learning the basic concept of p-n junction layer in basic electronics class, which subsequently lead to choosing electrical engineering as the first step to venture in this niche. Other research interest include renewable energy technologies, energy storage system, wind energy and upcoming new technologies.

Prior project and presentations in solar energy along with the practical experience gained at Michigan Technological University about Hybrid Electric Vehicle fueled my interest to agglomerate these two technologies. This led to designing a unique system in the project "Integrating Standalone Battery with EV in a Residential application" which consisted of solar pv panels and hybrid electric vehicles to reduce the dependency on the grid due to high peak demand times and inadequate supply.
