Papers
Mid-Project Report: Decarbonizing Cargo Ships
A mid-project report for a capstone project in the Energy Systems Laboratory for the development of a nuclear-fueled cargo ship. Performed nuclear regulation research and compliance criteria for the project and the economic analysis for possible application.
Capstone Project 2024 Final Report- Hamza Khan.pdfIDEAS_Paper.pdfEnhancing Silicon Solar Cell Efficiency for Widespread Economic Use: A Review
A semester-capstone research paper combining expertise knowledge from my experience at the Semiconductor Impurities Lab and from the Energy Systems Engineering Lab, analyzing the structure of the semiconductor layer in PV cells and comparing with alternative materials (TCOs, perovskite).
An Observational Study Analyzing the Relationship between Intrinsic Motivation, Mindset, and Grit with Respect to GPA in High School Students
A year-long capstone research project that quantitatively analyzed three relevant psychological markers against academic success, n = 32. Performed an ANOVA test and found a positive correlation between all factors independently against GPA, and a statistically significant correlation between intrinsic motivation and grit, with alpha = 0.05.
