Working with University of Auckland professor Nirmal Nair, I used separate software and simulation techniques to model AC distribution grids using OpenDSS and DC microgrids using Opal-RT. I then developed my systems engineering toolkit to integrate the models together, solving timing issues and building cross-platform connectivity between a time.

At GlobalFoundries, I had an amazing opportunity for hands-on experience in the power systems field. I worked with EasyPower to retroactively model systems throughout the site, learning a lot about power system components and their operation. I also used my experience with R to develop new methods for querying information from these models. It was really.

Rensselaer, New York, United States

Working with RPI Professor Luigi Vanfretti, I created a simulation of a home-scale solar installation using Typhoon HIL software. I then compared my results with data from a real system (my own house’s solar panels), and tuned my simulation to match real world parameters. I was able to learn more about PV systems, and built skills working with simulation.

Rensselaer, New York

At SEED, I learned a lot about the solar panel installation process, and how to ensure that that cog runs smoothly in the energy production and distribution machine. I worked with a team to plan new installations using Helioscope design software, do the installation ground work, and repair problems with existing systems. It was really interesting to learn.

Rensselaer, NY

At Vassays, I worked in a fabrication lab and was exposed to procedures for manually adding elements to printed circuit boards. I learned a lot about the building and troubleshooting techniques used on electronic systems, and the boards I built were incorporated into chemical ecology research equipment. It was intriguing to learn about the manufacturing.
