Research for senior project at Cal Poly investigating the thermal and load-based effects on capacity fading in lithium iron phosphate cells (LFP). Analysis through the comparison and breakdown of discharge cycles at different temperatures. Also designed a temperature controlled environment for the discharge experiments to take place in.

Recycling 18650 lithium ion cells from discarded laptop batteries to build a low-cost homemade power wall for energy storage and future applications in solar.

Conducting research with near-surface geophysical electrical resistivity imaging for different purposes. First, looking at the soil moisture in response to meadow restoration and how it is influenced by the shallow geologic structures by creating maps in 2-D and 3-D from different surveys in several sites near Mt. Lassen. Currently working on looking at.
