My name is Carlos Valverde, I am currently a senior at Stevens Institute of Technology, pursuing a Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering. I'm deeply passionate about sustainability and the role that engineering can play in creating a greener future. I had the opportunity to engage in research that was focused on nanomaterials with potential applications in sustainable technologies, such as enhancing the efficiency of solar panels. I'm excited about the possibilities of merging my engineering background with sustainability to drive innovation and address pressing environmental challenges.
