Research Interest

With a degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, I am very interested in working with electrical motors, diagnosing faults, and power electronics, especially in renewable energy. I enjoy finding ways to make electrical systems more efficient and reliable. My goal is to improve how we detect and fix issues in electric motors and to use power electronics to enhance renewable energy systems. By combining my knowledge of electrical motors with new advancements in power electronics, I hope to help create better and more sustainable energy solutions.
