To support Europe's goal of an energy-neutral built environment by 2050, I contributed to the FITS4E project (Façade Panels with an Invisible Thermal Solar Collector for Energy). This project aimed to integrate aesthetically appealing, color-customizable solar collectors into building façades.Key Contributions: • Conducted outdoor solar collector testing in accordance with ISO 9806 standards. •Analyzed solar collector performance using data analysis in Python (multiple linear regression). •Simulated solar collector behavior in TRNSYS, defining system characteristics and control strategies. •Designed a thermal system integrating solar collectors, storage, heat pumps, and dwellings based on IEA SHC Task 44 guidelines. •Evaluated the annual energy performance of a typical dwelling with solar collectors.This work enhanced the feasibility of integrating renewable energy solutions into aesthetically driven building designs.

During my internship at TNO, I developed a cost prediction model for the biogas production chain to support decision-making in emerging economies. The model accounted for various raw materials, processes, locations, and technologies, helping users evaluate the economic feasibility of biogas plants.Key Contributions: • Designed a graphical user interface (GUI) using VBA to make the model user-friendly and interactive. • Integrated dynamic cost datasets from literature and the TNO database, allowing users to customize inputs such as raw materials and technology choices. • Delivered insights on theoretical biogas/biomethane outputs, heat and electricity generation, and plant economics, enabling users to assess business viability for specific locations.This work provided a valuable tool for promoting sustainable energy solutions in developing regions.
