Who I Am

⚡ Research Focus

My Masters-by-Research centers on evaluating commercial grounding enhancement materials — GEM, MEG, and SanEarth — under both low-voltage AC and high-voltage impulse conditions (100–300 kV). I've tested 13+ configurations controlling water content (0–10%), analyzed E₅₀, Zimp, and ionization thresholds, and modeled performance in SES-CDEGS. My work bridges lab characterization with real-world soil resistivity surveys and field grounding installations.

01
Performance of Grounding Enhancement Materials in Sandy Loam Soil Under Various Water Content Conditions for Lightning Protection
Investigates how three commercial grounding enhancement materials — GEM, MEG, and SanEarth — perform in sandy loam soil across varying water content levels (0–10%). The study evaluates DC resistance and impulse impedance to determine which material offers the most consistent protection under tropical soil conditions relevant to lightning protection design.

02
Impulse Characteristics of Grounding Systems with Enhancement Materials Under High Voltage
Examines the high-voltage impulse behavior of grounding systems backfilled with enhancement materials, testing up to 300 kV. The paper analyzes impulse impedance (Zₖₚₚ), critical electric field (Eᾕ₀), and breakdown characteristics, revealing how EM-treated electrodes respond differently from untreated soil under fast-front lightning surges.

03
AC and Impulse Characterization of Grounding Enhancement Materials with Controlled Water Content
Presents a dual-mode characterization of grounding enhancement materials using both low-voltage AC and high-voltage impulse testing across 13+ configurations with controlled water content from 0% to 10%. A calibrated DSO setup was used to capture precise impedance and ionization data, showing that AC and impulse performance trends do not always align.

Impulse Performance of Grounding Rods with Enhancement Materials in Sandy Loam Soil
Conference paper presenting field and lab results of vertical grounding rods installed in sandy loam soil treated with commercial enhancement materials. Tests were performed under both positive and negative impulse polarities, revealing polarity-dependent behavior and highlighting the inductive effect that becomes significant at low DC resistance values.

05
Comparison of Grounding Enhancement Materials for Low Resistivity Applications in Power Systems
A comparative study of GEM, MEG, and SanEarth in low-resistivity soil environments typical of tropical power system installations. The paper benchmarks DC resistance reduction, cost-effectiveness, and long-term stability of each material, providing practical guidance for engineers selecting backfill compounds for substation grounding.
