i build batteries, write control systems, and train ml models that beat published benchmarks. rn i'm researching at matter lab and building a bms from scratch!
DFT screening of electrolytes is brutally slow. The hard part: predicting ionic conductivity from composition alone, with almost no labelled data. Built a gradient-boosted model + genetic algorithm to search the candidate space.
MAE ≈ 0.94 (log σ) on 829 samples beats the published OBELiX RF baseline by 36%
SoC isn't directly measurable and voltage is nonlinear + noisy. The hard part: ran an Extended Kalman Filter over an equivalent-circuit model on an 8-bit Arduino.
got a 1517 Medici grant for this one — lots of fun. used for the RC car

in a team of 3, we made a cardboard bridge to support a train. we made our own simulation engine to calculate the forces of the train :) here's the design report

LOTS (and i mean lots) of breadboarding to collect battery data for my EKF project
