I’m excited to share my research profile and publications in thermal systems, refrigeration, heat pumps, and compressor technologies. I am a Ph.D. researcher in Mechanical Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. My research focuses on developing advanced and energy-efficient vapor-compression systems using experimental investigation, thermodynamic analysis, physics-based modeling, and data-driven methods. My doctoral research includes: • Compressor characterization and performance modeling • Vapor and two-phase refrigerant injection • Heat pump and refrigeration system performance • Reduced-order and physics-informed modeling • Low-global-warming-potential refrigerants • High temperature-lift and off-design operation • Experimental testing and automation of thermal systems I have designed, commissioned, automated, and operated experimental facilities for compressor and thermal-system testing, including testing with low-GWP and mildly flammable refrigerants. A central goal of my work is to bridge fundamental research with practical engineering applications, developing experimental methods and modeling tools for thermal-system design, performance prediction, control, and optimization. My broader interests include next-generation heat pumps, sustainable refrigeration, advanced compressor technologies, refrigerant technologies, thermal management, and intelligent modeling of energy systems. #MechanicalEngineering #ThermalSystems #HVACR #Ref
