About Me

I am an Electrical Engineering undergraduate at Pulchowk Campus, Institute of Engineering, Tribhuvan University, specializing in Power Electronics, Renewable Energy Systems, and Energy Optimization. My focus is on modeling, simulation, and hardware-software integration to analyze and optimize converter designs, battery energy storage, and grid-interfaced renewable systems. Using dynamic system modeling, control strategies, and AI-driven optimization, I investigate ways to enhance grid resilience, efficiency, and stability in high-renewable-penetration networks. By bridging theoretical models with practical simulation and experimentation, I aim to contribute to seamless, efficient, and scalable renewable energy integration in modern power system.
