• Master’s Thesis, Western Sydney University, 03/2023, 10/2023, During my Master's Thesis at Western Sydney University (March to October 2023), I conducted a comprehensive study on "Wind Energy Harvesting through Power Windows." Using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), I investigated the correlation between wind speed and wind turbine performance, focusing on power generation, lift and drag coefficients, and angle of attack. This interdisciplinary project integrated aerodynamics, materials science, and electrical engineering to develop power windows seamlessly integrated into the built environment. Addressing the challenge of optimizing energy generation in confined spaces while maintaining architectural aesthetics, the research emphasized the practicality and sustainability of power windows as an innovative solution for urban energy challenges, employing ANSYS Workbench for insightful simulations.
