Introduction
I, currently, work as a researcher at the Center for Mobility Sciences at National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). Primarily my work focuses on the techno-economic analysis of alternative drivetrains in highway transport (LDVs, MDVs, and HDVs) as well as fueling infrastructure analysis, especially for electric vehicles.

Electric Technology Vehicles (ETVs: hybrid, electric, and plug-in hybrid) may reach price parity with incumbent internal combustion vehicles (ICEVs) in the near future. Climate policy for transportation will depend on the degree to which consumers prefer ETVs, and price parity is a key factor. In this study, we explore the interaction between futur...
To broadly contribute to sustainable mobility, electric technology vehicles (hybrid, electric and plug-in-hybrid) must become more price competitive with internal combustion vehicles. This study assesses the economic and carbon benefits of electric technology vehicles in the U.S., accounting for household-by-household behavioral variability and geo...
Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEVs) are considered one solution to reducing GHG emissions from private transport. Additionally, PEV adopters often have free access to public charging facilities. Through a pattern analysis, this study identifies five distinct clusters of daily PEV charging profiles observed at the public charging stations. Empirically...

Amongst the different Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) technologies, central tower power plants with direct steam generation (DSG) emerge as one of the most promising options. These plants have the benefit of working with a single heat transfer fluid (HTF), allowing them to reach higher temperatures than conventional parabolic trough CSP plants; thi...
Freeze concentration is a process in which water is selectively separated out of binary solution in the form of ice, thereby concentrating solution. The freeze concentration system under consideration is a heat pump based freeze concentration system (FCS) that uses layer freezing process. The application of this system for the present paper is in t...
Freeze concentration is a process in which water is selectively separated out of a binary solution in the form of ice, resulting in concentration of the solution. Among several configurations of a freeze concentration system the one employing a layer freezing process is considered in this paper. The application of this system for the present paper...
