I'm Building
Changing the world with efficient, solid hydrogen storage, appeals to rationality, and cool physics. -- Tyler Cowen's words not mine
Bio
Yudhister is a young technical builder based in Temecula, California, who received funding from Emergent Ventures to work on developing efficient, solid hydrogen storage solutions. He was recognized for his work after already completing high school two years early, during which time he began exploring how AI can support scientific discovery. Yudhister's past projects include research to increase awareness about the inefficiencies in current hydrogen storage methods, demonstrating his focus on advancing hydrogen energy storage to support economically viable nuclear fusion.
