Identifying practical pathways for electrification of agricultural vehicles through Techno-Economic analysis
Dilawer Ali
UC Merced
United States
Dilawer Ali is a Ph.D. student in the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of California, Merced, where he is currently conducting research on the electrification of agricultural vehicles. Dilawer’s research focuses on developing techno-economic models to evaluate the total cost of ownership of electric tractors. Through his work, Dilawer aims to help agricultural communities make informed decisions about the adoption of electric tractors, which can have significant environmental and economic benefits. Dilawer is passionate about the intersection of engineering and sustainability, and he hopes to continue working in this field after completing his Ph.D.
