Experience

  1. Researcher IV-Control Engineering

    National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)
    Constructing a comprehensive geospatial dataset which integrates 4 data sources for critical mineral deposits to cross-validate and enrich the available data. Assessed the intersection of power outages and extreme weather through analyzing and visualizing the spatiotemporal relationships of different datasets, resulting in a research paper and a conference presentation. Processed and analyzed human behavior during Winter Storm Uri based on over 500GB of GPS data, resulting in a research paper and a conference presentation. Evaluated market readiness and technical feasibility for 4 different hydrogen fuel cell technologies to determine their suitability for the conversion of a 340 MW gas power plant. Our report empowered the utility customer to reach a informed and defendable decision on their $800 million investment. Generated example plant footprints for 10 different fuel cell models with hydrogen reformation and storage. Published 2 conference papers, 2 technical reports, and 3 other publications.
