Skills

Thermal-Fluid Systems & Two-Phase Heat Transfer

Deep, hands-on expertise in phase-change heat transfer, specializing in oscillating heat pipes for electronics cooling
Experienced in designing and characterizing thermal systems across micro and macro scales, working with multiple fluids including water, ethanol, methanol, and dielectric FC-72.

Experimental Design & Instrumentation

Skilled in building custom experimental setups from the ground up — from sensor integration to full test-rig assembly
Proficient with thermocouples, pressure transducers, high-speed imaging, and infrared thermography for capturing thermal and flow behavior in real time.

Computational Methods & Machine Learning

Apply Python and machine learning to solve real experimental bottlenecks — including a YOLOv11-based computer vision model for automated flow-pattern recognition, and predictive models linking working-fluid properties to thermal performance.
