Koret Scholars Develop Innovative Battery Monitoring and Visualization System
We are proud to congratulate Computer Science and Engineering students Andres Duenas, Samuel Guzman, Emanuel Barajas, and Antonio Kassis for their outstanding work on a fantastic project supported by the prestigious Koret Scholars Program, in collaboration with scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Their project focused on designing a precise, low-cost, hand-held monitoring and logging system to track the charging and discharging behavior of lithium polymer batteries. What makes this project truly exceptional is its seamless integration of hardware and software: data collected by the device is visualized through a custom-built Unreal Engine animation, simulating ion buildup within the battery as it charges or supplies power. Funded through the Koret Scholars Program, an initiative that empowers undergraduates at Sonoma State University to engage in high-impact research and creative activities, this project exemplifies the innovation, technical skill, and collaborative spirit fostered within our engineering program. Congratulations to these talented students on a remarkable achievement!
