I'm developing a process to convert wet organic solids into hydrogen and store electrical energy.I have a decade of experience engineering energy systems, understanding environmental issues, and enhancing the use of fossil and renewable fuels. I performed strategic energy planning and road map work for sustainability, and advised companies to prepare for and monetize such transitions.I directed five employees at three locations to develop a system to convert biomass into renewable hydrogen, and I was a management consultant at McKinsey & Company where I helped companies set strategy and make business decisions.Prior to graduating with a PhD, I worked to commercialize halogen-based processes for coal and refinery emission control, electrical energy storage, hydrogen sulfide capture, and solar energy conversion. I also worked at Sandia National Labs, Northrop Grumman, and the Boeing Company.PhD Aeronautics, Stanford University 2009MS Chemical Eng., Caltech 2003ME Aeronautical Eng., MIT 2001BS Chemical Eng., MIT 2000BS Aeronautics & Astronautics, MIT 2000My analytic capabilities are validated by multiple projects:- Development of process to produce hydrogen from wet organic waste- Forecast US energy use to 2050 under renewable, natural gas, and BAU scenarios- Analysis of all electric vs. mixed gas/electric energy delivery to built environment- Evaluation of gas monetization opportunities in Africa- Assessed future solid oxide fuel cell system costs and performance- Economic comparison of battery electric, plug-in hybrid, and fuel cell vehicles- Facilitation of the EU2050 energy road map to decarbonize Europe's energy mix- Integration of absorptive cooling in tri-generation fuel cell systemsMy academic research investigated:- Removal of H2S from sour gas and its conversion to H2- Benefits from flying aircraft in formation to save fuel- Potential of a volumetric absorption solar receiver- Optimization of broadband satellite constellations
