Research summary
AI-generated

Waseem Amjad researches renewable energy systems, with a particular focus on solar-powered technologies for food processing and drying, such as solar-assisted dryers for dairy, fruit, and other agricultural products. This work often combines experimental testing with energy and exergy analysis (methods for evaluating how efficiently energy is used and where losses occur) and increasingly incorporates machine learning and digital modeling tools. The research is largely aimed at developing practical, decentralized solar energy solutions for agriculture, food preservation, and rural energy access, especially in regions with limited infrastructure.
