Summary
Souvik Roy is a Thermal Engineer and PhD candidate with 11 years of experience developing and validating advanced cooling and thermal energy storage technologies. He has bridged academic research and industry practice—designing pilot-scale latent heat TES systems, formulating novel polymeric phase change materials, and automating long-duration experiments with integrated hardware-software control. At Tesla he developed automated test routines and thermal RC models, and at RPI contributed substantial finite-element simulation code for additive manufacturing and laser grooving projects. Comfortable across hands-on manufacturing, instrumentation/DAQ, Python/MATLAB scripting, and FEA/C++ development, he repeatedly builds low-cost custom apparatus (e.g., high-shear mixer, automated heated press) to enable research at scale. Now based in California and working at Baltimore Aircoil Company, he combines deep thermal-materials insight with practical systems engineering to move lab innovations toward deployable solutions. An understated strength is his track record of taking fragile experiments from failure modes to robust, automated campaigns while mentoring students and collaborating with industry sponsors.
