About

Pioneering Clean Aviation

As a mechanical and aerospace engineering researcher, I develop hydrogen power systems for sustainable aviation. My research focuses on creating technologies that enable zero-emission flight while maintaining industry standards for performance and safety.

Industry Decarbonization

Through Rectify, I help companies worldwide report and reduce their emissions by providing access to certified Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) and carbon credits. Our platform streamlines the entire carbon journey, enabling businesses to achieve their sustainability goals through verified environmental solutions.

Research to Implementation

My research bridges the gap between academic innovation and industrial application, translating hydrogen storage breakthroughs and fuel cell advancements into practical solutions that accelerate the transition to carbon-neutral aviation.
