The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden Colorado is the U.S. Department of Energy's primary national laboratory for renewable energy and energy efficiency research and development. NREL develops renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies and practices, advances related science and engineering, and transfers knowledge and innovations to address the nation's energy and environmental goals.I have been at NREL since 2008 and contribute to the research efforts for commercial buildings. This effort is dedicated to studying the behavior of low-energy buildings both on the design side as well as the performance side. I am interested in energy modeling of buildings and software development for building optimization and modeling. My research focus includes sector-wide energy modeling, Advanced Energy Design Guides, and the 179D DOE Calculator. I specialize in software development for building optimization and modeling, commercial sector whole-building energy simulation, scientific computing, and software configuration and package management.Prior to joining NREL, I was an applications engineer designing air-cooled steam condensers for coal and combined-cycle power plants. I hold a master's degree from Colorado State University specializing in energy and the environment. I am an adjunct faculty member at Colorado School of Mines. I am also a registered Engineering Intern in Colorado.
