I worked at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory as part of their Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship (SULI) program. I primarily worked on a research project which focused on finding equitable deployment locations for electric medium- and heavy-duty vehicle charging stations. I programmed a tool which creates an interactive map of the United States which shows all proposed charging station locations. It also displays the relative level of disadvantage experienced by the desired number of communities surrounding each charging station using a color scale which corresponds to a disadvantage community index score based on 20 US Census Bureau Equity Metrics. Disadvantaged communities identified by the Department of Transportation and the Department of Energy is also displayed as well as various other outputs. I also did other research related to Electric Vehicles and am currently working on writing a paper for conference publication.

San Luis Obispo, California, United States

I have been performing research with two professors as well as a senior undergraduate and master's student to analyze and optimize tracker setting changes on a utility-scale single-axis tracking solar field. This field sits on skewed topography which results in significant inter-row shading. Our work is estimated to produce an additional 746,826 kWh of power for Cal Poly each year. I have programmed and run optimization simulations in MATLAB and have interpreted field data and used this data to explain trends in data collected from these simulations. I have also built shading simulations in Excel and corroborated these results using MATLAB code. As well as coding in MATLAB, I create graphs, tables, and other summaries of results and present my findings at weekly meetings to gain feedback and insight into what to do next.I presented our work at the American Solar Energy Society 2024 conference, and we submitted a paper for publication at that conference.

I worked as a framing assistant/groundsman building walls, stairs, and setting windows. I also completed basic handyman work including laying bricks, building decks, removing siding, building fences, installing metal roofing, installing board, bat and detailed metal siding, basic electrical work, and other minor repairs.

I cared for lawns by mowing, weeding, trimming and edging around walks, walls, and flower beds. I also performed landscaping tasks including; mulching, fertilizing, weeding, planting and transplanting flowers, plants and trees, removing leaves and other yard waste/debris, and more.
