Irfan is a MSc student at the HERD Lab. He holds a bachelor’s degree from UW-Madison in Mechanical Engineering with a certificate in Data Science. His focus is on computational engineering, specifically finite volume and finite element methods. He previously worked in battery thermal management simulations, tuning flow channels to maintain a threshold maximum temperature to prevent thermal runaway. Currently, he is working to simulate a multiphase reacting flow model of an electrochemical weatherization cell. His interests include novel methods to model complex problems in engineering. Additionally, his interests are in nanofabrication of novel catalysts and electrolyte matrices, such as screen printing and electrodeposition.
