Rehan Jayathilaka

• Developed a Python–LTSpice framework for thermal-electrical multiphysics simulation of superconducting circuits. • Automated LTSpice function generation for enthalpy, critical current, and nonlinear resistance modeling. • Validated simulations using MATLAB/Python solvers for corresponding differential equations. • Integrated results into a unified workflow supporting quench protection design and prototyping. • Designed a cryo-compatible PCB and test fixture (KiCad) for quench detection using IPC-2221 standards. • Optimized voltage sensing and heater layouts with ground planes and via stitching to minimize 50 Hz noise. • Contributed results to MT29 and NAPAC25 conference presentations.

Leading multiple electrical sub team projects supporting the development of the 2027 Formula SAE car.

•Initiated hands-on IEEE projects, including the design of an electric go-kart, to enhance member engagement and teamwork. •Implemented a gamified points system to boost participation and strengthen member retention. •Organized technical and professional events such as soldering workshops and an industry tour at Collins Aerospace.

•Supported students in understanding academic concepts and coursework in electrical engineering, math, physics, and computer science, strengthening their problem-solving skills and grasp of engineering principles. •Fostered connections among peers, encouraging collaborative learning and building a supportive academic community.

•Built a flexible Python/C test automation framework with an interactive menu for hardware validation. •Supported three hardware iterations with iterative improvements and full documentation in Jira. •Designed and reworked PCBs (Altium) to support debugging and validation efforts. •Performed prototype battery cycling, collecting and analyzing voltage/current data.
