Project history
Modeling CO2 capture systems for Direct Air Capture (low CO2 concentration) and biogas (higher CO2 concentration). Sizing the complete heat exchanger using heat transfer correlations. Determining required annual cycle time and annual captured CO2 mass for each capture configuration.
Led the development of cooling solutions for high-density data centers including air cooling, single-phase and two-phase direct-to-chip liquid cooling, and immersion cooling. Designed and optimized cold plates, heat sinks and metal foam-based cooling solutions for high-performance CPU/GPU applications. Performed multi-scale thermal modeling and CFD simulations (0D/1D and 3D). Defined and optimized cooling system architectures balancing thermal performance, pressure drop, energy efficiency and system integration.
Managed cell and module thermal performance, from modeling (1D models and CFD thermal simulations) to test validation. Assessed thermal runaway risks, including thermal propagation and venting. Designed thermal and cycling test jigs and battery cooling systems.
