Daksh Adhikari

I'm a Mechanical Engineering PhD student at Georgia Tech's MiNDS Lab. My research uses ML to control two-phase cooling systems for electronics, EVs, high-energy lasers, and nuclear applications. Before grad school, I spent two years as an R&D engineer at Advanced Cooling Technologies on DOE SBIR and ARPA-E projects, including patent filings at TRL 8. Outside my formal mechanical/thermal-systems training, I taught myself modern ML, bioinformatics, and vision-LLM workflows to build working systems—not just demos. Recent work includes the ITherm 2026 Best On-Site Poster Award and a submitted IEEE BHI 2026 paper.
