Next Ten Years of Passive Radiative Thermoregulators

A perspective on the future of thermal management wearables, in particular, passive radiative textiles. The article describes the tools and principles that will assist in paving the next generation of wearables. Furthermore, the perspective explains the latest research areas including computational efforts, recyclability, and angle-dependent properties to name a few.

Transparent Radiation Shield (TRS)

The Transparent Radiative Shield (TRS) is a wearable thermal coating with infrared reflective and visibly transparent properties. The TRS is developed through a solution-processing method and is theoretically guided by Mie Theory and the wire-mesh equivalent sheet impedance model.

Vascular ENabled Advanced (VENA) Battery

Today’s electric vehicles require fast-charging batteries for shorter charging times in addition to high energy densities. The optimal tortuosity for electrodes are inversely designed by artificial intelligence creating the branched porous battery.

Teaching & Advocacy

Throughout my academic career, I seized any opportunity to teach. Whether I volunteered or organized an outreach program, I consistently taught in the sciences.

As an educator, I am patient, empathetic, and adaptable. Additionally, I value communication and clarity while supporting individual learning habits.

A serious lack of diversity in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) careers motivates me to organize science-based workshops for K-12 students from underrepresented backgrounds.
