Luka Young

I work on energy technologies, materials science, and hardware — from electrodes for hydrogen electrolysis to experimental builds I make to learn how things work.

Projects

Things I’ve built, researched, and tested.

Research, industry work, and personal builds — a collection that keeps growing.

About

Curious about how things work — and building to find out.

I’m a Chemical Engineering student at UC Berkeley with interests spanning energy technology, materials science, hardware development, and pharmaceutical development. I enjoy working where scientific research meets practical application.

My experience includes developing electrodes for hydrogen electrolysis systems, researching electrochemical materials, evaluating early-stage startups, and leading consulting projects. Outside formal work I pursue hands-on builds — currently a hybrid airship-drone with my roommate. I’m especially drawn to unconventional ideas and to learning by building and experimenting.

Away from engineering, I ski, scuba dive, and travel. I like experiences that push me outside my comfort zone — exploring underwater, learning a new skill, or meeting people with different perspectives. Curiosity is the common thread.
