• Created Python script to automate calculation of Li transference numbers using chronoamperometry and PEIS data of Li-Li symmetric cells
• Assembled 50+ half-cell coin cells weekly, with 20+ self-prepared electrolytes of different solvent and salt compositions and concentrations, to analyze rate capability via discharge rate maps
• Developed a new platform for Li-Li symmetric cells to reduce variability and increase signal-to-noise ratio in Li transference number calculation

Working on in-situ growth of metal halide Perovskites for tandem solar cells

Berkeley, CA, US

• Created Python script to extract, analyze, and visualize electrochemical data for both full and half-cell coin cells to analyze cell performance and degradation
• Assembled Gr/NMC532 full-cells in a glove box to run under fast-charging protocols
• Employed an SOC-sweeping testing protocol to create ideal conditions for Li plating to occur, while using various methods such as differential voltage analysis, discharge-capacity variations, and coulombic efficiency.
• Observed association between shifts in differential voltage profiles and drop in discharge capacities for cells, relating the onset of Li plating or loss in active Graphite material with that of cell degradation

Berkeley, California, US

• Proposed a group of 7 potential perovskite materials, that warranted future research, to Prof. Alivisatos and team
• Leveraged Python and Pymatgen to export and analyze data from The Materials Project, a supercomputing database that houses structural data of known materials to inspire novel materials
• Worked with data regarding known lead-based perovskites to determine low-toxicity substitutes with a higher level of stability (formation energy, energy above hull, bulk modulus) and efficiency (band gap magnitude and.

• Compared efficacies of "Surakta", an anti-acne ayurvedic medicine, and Clindamycin Phosphate Gel via monitoring of bacterial growth using well-diffusion techniques
• Developed an understanding of testing practices regarding the development of ayurvedic medicines and differences with allopathic medicines

Bengaluru, IN

• Examined a variety of chemical processes (sugar solution production, pectin mixing, pasteurization, homogenization) that take place during production
• Performed chemical tests on finished juice products (pH, Brix/total soluble solids) and production line water (total, calcium, and magnesium hardness) every 15 minutes to ensure the maintenance of quality
• Proposed a 23% decrease in packaging expenditure via a new packing method which increased the number of juice products per box from 39 to 48

Meyrin, Genève, CH

• Participated in research work for the CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) Collaboration
• Attended a workshop on Particle Physics and Gravitational Waves as well as talks by Sir John Ellis, Piotr Traczyk, and more
• Built a cloud chamber to detect cosmic rays
