Nataisha Ashraf

I am an Energy Systems engineer with a strong research background in batteries, supercapacitors, and nanomaterials, currently completing an MS in Energy Systems Engineering. My training spans electrode fabrication, PVD thin-film processing, electrospinning of TiO2 nanofibers, and PV system design.

As a research assistant I have fabricated lithium-ion battery anodes and cathodes, developed asymmetric and symmetric supercapacitor devices, and performed copper selenization to produce Cu–Se thin films. I combine hands-on lab skills with simulation experience, including designing a 10 kW off-grid photovoltaic system using PVsyst.

I have engaged in multiple workshops and seminars on energy storage, characterization techniques, and electrochemistry, and completed relevant coursework and online certifications to deepen my technical expertise. I am comfortable with microscopy and spectroscopy tools and with data analysis and documentation.

I work collaboratively, communicate clearly, and apply critical thinking to solve experimental challenges; I seek roles where I can advance practical energy storage solutions and contribute to renewable energy projects.
