About

I’m a PhD researcher working on self-powered wearable sensors by designing and modeling triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) and flexible polymer-based devices that harvest mechanical energy. My focus is on improving device performance and reliability by combining materials understanding, theoretical modeling + COMSOL simulation, and hands-on prototyping/testing, with Python-based data analysis and signal processing to turn lab results into practical sensing solutions.
