• Awarded a position in the Mickey Leland Energy Fellowship as a Research Contractor at the Pittsburgh Department Of Energy National Energy Technology Laboratory (DOE NETL), where I:
• Tested fiber optic cables at temperatures >200 to ≤1000⁰C for stability
• Helped with designing a high-pressure, high temperature reactor system
• Helped to design a high-pressure gas system for installationIn addition to the lab work listed above, I also researched how to quantify Hydrogen diffusion into fiber optic cables at elevated temperatures and pressures.
