• GT-SUITE modeling & simulation: validated component models, heat exchanger/reactor networks, reduced-order models & LUTs; co-simulation for MPC • Control engineering: state-machine control for start-up/load/shutdown; optimization with MATLAB/Simulink & GT-SUITE (DOE, PID) • Automation: Python simulation workflows & batch analysis; CAD-to-1D tool (-80% effort); standalone Python data analysis GUI • System design: MBD/MBSE, PFD & P&ID analysis of a 500 kW system; steam reforming for H₂ production

Developed a multi-physics fuel cell system model with Balance of Plant (BoP) in MATLAB/Simulink using Simscape. Modeled components using supplier data and calibrated them with measurement data. Built an equation-based fuel cell stack model and performed optimization. Developed and implemented control strategies based on simulation results to enhance system efficiency and reliability.
