Books
I am pleased to share that I have collaborated as a contributing author on three books in the fields of Educational Robotics and Energy Storage. These contributions reflect my commitment to advancing both innovative engineering education and research in next-generation energy technologies.
In the book Designing, Constructing, and Programming Robots for Learning, I contributed two chapters: one presenting the 5PER method, a five-phase methodology I developed to teach robotics in classroom settings, and another focused on robotics competitions, including challenges, preparation strategies, and student training. These contributions highlight my commitment to advancing structured, hands-on approaches to robotics education.
In Robotics Models Using LEGO WeDo 2.0, I am one of two authors and developed 12 educational projects using the LEGO WeDo 2.0 set, applying the 5PER methodology. These projects introduce programming and basic mechanical concepts through engaging, hands-on activities designed for children.
In Lithium-ion Batteries Enabled by Silicon Anodes, I contributed as a co-author of a chapter focused on computational techniques used to study silicon anodes. This work highlights the role of atomistic modeling and simulation in understanding and improving next-generation battery materials.
Journal Covers
I was selected to design five journal covers highlighting my research publications in battery manufacturing modeling, recognizing both the scientific impact and visual communication of this work.
