Emilia-Romagna, Italy

Gave english language lessons to individuals and groups of young Italian students to prepare them for different examination levels.This job also prepared Italian college students for english based interviews.

Piacenza Area, Italy

During my time at Polimi, I earned a masters in energy engineering with a focus on renewable energy systems. I gained extensive knowledge on international and European energy systems while at the same time furthering my research in hydrogen networks (my masters thesis). During my time at Polimi, I also had the opportunity to work with multiple professions and cultures to create energy efficiency project tailored to solve Italian building energy consumption issues. One of the largest projects involved repurposing an abandoned factory in Ivrea to be able to handle modern office and start up spaces while achieving the highest energy efficiency standards and maintaining specific architectural designs of the region.Finally , my masters thesis involved researching cross European hydrogen networks that used blue and green generated hydrogen to satisfy electrical and future hydrogen demands while minimizing costs. This thesis was done in collaboration with Forschungszentrum Julich researchers in Germany.

Jülich, North Rhine-Westphalia

As a graduate researcher at IEK-3, I contributed to the research center's renewable energy software . The software tools developed were used to evaluate renewable energy potential at any point in the world from a continental to a large city scale. In addition to this I finished my master thesis research at the same center. My master's thesis involved designing a Pan-European hydrogen gas network that used electrolyzers and natural gas reformers to generate hydrogen for transportation use while satisfy electrical demands of the EU using other renewable technologies. Using a supercomputer to calculate the final network generated the most optimal design while minimizing costs.
