Bio
Peter Sopher
Managing Xinxing was a delight. Her attitude, initiative, and professionalism were exemplary, and her daily enthusiasm lifted the spirits of everyone with whom she worked. Deliverables she's produced for me include, but are not limited to: 1.) Four memos comparing utility-scale fossil fuel and renewable energy generation. These memos focused on costs, carbon emissions, reliability, and employment. 2.) Contributed in both a qualitative and quantitative manner to a team project assessing the technical potential for renewable energy and energy efficiency at state and national levels in the United States. 3.) A thorough memo analyzing many angles to the solar power industry in China. What I find most impressive about Xinxing is her ability to identify areas where her efforts are most useful to the team. At the end of her internship, she approached EDF staff about performing quantitative analyses on data from Austin Texas' Pecan Street, a planned community that proactively accumulates data on clean energy usage, for her Master's Project at Duke University. This proposal has been accepted by both EDF and Duke University, and the project is currently underway.

Xinxing produced a landscape overview of the Chinese solar industry that focuses on Chinese solar policy incentives, the Chinese solar industry's global impact, specific Chinese solar companies, and negative portions of the Chinese solar experience. The final product was top notch, far exceeding the quality of the average memo. I, as well as others at EDF, learned a lot from it. Throughout the process, Xinxing was positive and professional.
