I am a PhD student in physics, working as a researcher with my main specialty being supercapacitors and electric measurements. I got into Julia because I believe it's the right programming language for the scope of my research, and, well, I also like it more than other programming languages, so there's that.

A supercapacitor is a complex charge storing device which relies on multiple physical phenomena, namely electrical double layer formation and pseudocapacitance, that are to this day not so well understood. When theory stagnates, so does innovation. Where trial and error give results, it could give faster results if the trial could be guided by knowledge. Part of the process in trying to understand how a supercapacitor works is finding an equivalent circuit model, acting as a sort of a rigorous guide through uncharted territory using charted territory in the form of already known circuit elements which describe, to some extent, the physical phenomena behind a supercapacitor. Therefore, this is what the presented work is concerned with, using Julia to find a circuit model from acquired supercapacitor data.
