Solar Energy Resources From Satellite Observations
My ongoing PhD research focuses on improving solar panel deployment and efficiency based on real, long-term observations. This is achieved through the use of satellite earth observation techniques to better understand the global distribution of solar energy resources.
ML Based LST Observation Fusion for Canopy Temperature
Developing a machine learning based model to predict canopy temperature for agricultural applications. The model has been trained against multi-year ground-based observations of canopy temperature at select Colombian coffee farms. Inputs include GOES 16 & 17, MODIS AQUA & TERRA skin temperature, ERA 5 2 metre air temperature as well as auxiliary information such as high-resolution elevation and solar zenith angle.
Lockdown & Solar Energy: Air Quality Change Over China During COVID-19 for Solar Energy Generation
Using satellite observations of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and aerosol optical depth during the COVID-19 lockdown, this study illustrates one of the potential hidden benefits of a cleaner atmosphere is more efficient large scale solar energy generation.
Roller coaster re-analysis & Data Assimilation
Coaster Reanalysis is a fully automated way to track, analyse, catalogue and re-live all your roller coaster adventures. Using 4D variational data assimilation techniques developed in the climate and atmospheric physics community, along with machine learning techniques, measurements from multiple sensors on your phone are assimilated to recreate the ride experience and roller coaster statistics.
Interactive covid-19 Dashboard with naïve modelling & Projections
Interactive dashboard that pools together live data feed of COVID-19 cases and death rates across the world, presented along with statistical projections, in an interactive dashboard.
spectral circumsolar normal irradiance visualisation
This interactive visualisation developed as part of my on-going PhD work shows the effects of how atmospheric constituents and viewing geometry affect the spectral circumsolar normal irradiance. For more, please refer to one of the videos listed above.
COVID-19 Lockdown & Satellite Nitrogen Dioxide Observations?
A short investigation into the correlation between nitrogen dioxide time series from satellite observations and COVID-19 lockdown dates for major cities around the world.
Brick-ing Down the Global Solar Resources with LEGO
Fourteen observational swaths from the near-polar, sun-synchronous orbit of the SLSTR (The Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer) onboard the European Space Agency’s Sentinel 3 satellite on 19 Oct 2018 have been overlaid on a stylised LEGO relief map in cylindrical projection. Spectral mismatch factors against the standard ASTM AM 1.5 spectrum has been determined based on these satellite measurements. These spectral mismatch factors can then be used to optimise the design of multi-junction cells to improve their efficiencies for any particular location on earth. In total, some 20,000 bricks have been hand-placed for this model, which is built to 1:12500000 at the equator. Produced as part of the Research as Art competition at Imperial College (Jul 2019).
LEGo Projection Mapping
This is an experimental work on exploring the possibility of projection mapping on LEGO sets with automated calibration. Whilst inspired by the rich third-party market of LED lighting kits for official sets, projection mapping offers the potential of dynamically overlaying exciting effects and contents on LEGO sets.
Shiptrack simulator
Shipping comprises 18% of the global emission of sulphur containing species, some of which oxidise to form sulphate aerosols. This aerosol is an efficient cloud condensation nuclei, thus creating shiptracks. Here you may steer a shipping container with varying aerosol emissions. Notice how the emitted aerosols interact with the low cloud fields and the radiative effect the shiptracks have on the scene.
Raising awAIRness: The Board Game
Raising awAIRness is a simple board game designed to educate young kids about the potential exposure to air pollution as one commutes across London. Designed and presented for the Imperial Festival 2018.
The Climate Action Advocate Programme for Scouts
The Climate Action Advocate Programme is a self-contained, six week, activity-filled programme designed specifically to be a fun and hands-on way to communicate climate change to a new demographic, and to empower them to sustain climate action. Aimed at young teenagers, these activities have been developed by PhD students at the Imperial College London’s Science and Solutions for a Changing Planet Doctoral Training Partnership.
The Blue Armchair
The Blue Armchair is a blog dedicated to new ideas and concepts for themed entertainment, including theme parks, museums and more. Ultimately, we're trying to explore how fusing technology, architecture and storytelling can create immersive experiences that transcend space, time and emotions.
Squeek UX + UI Design
A complete UX and UI designed for an on-demand car washing service in London
Iconic Iceland
The Iconic Iceland is a 250-page photo book that showcases the visual inspirations of Icelandic landscapes. Intricately sculpted by ice, fire, water and earth, Iceland is perhaps the most elegant embodiment of the saying that nature is indeed the ultimate architect. Featuring breathtaking original photos and videos accompanied by hand sketches, this book explores how we can abstract quintessential design elements such as colour, contour, motion and texture from the panoramas of Iceland.
