What I’m working on

  • Developing a renewable energy storage system that houses batteries in drilled U-shaped boreholes beneath wind and solar farms.
  • Designing the battery storage system, including battery selection, cartridge design, well interface, structure, and thermal analysis.
  • Designing a mechatronic servicing system to extract and replace faulty batteries.
  • Developing an AI-based monitoring interface that tracks battery health and performance.
  • Evaluating existing oilfield equipment for drilling, casing, and battery extraction.
