Research Associate

• Jul 2021 - Dec 2022

- Contributed to the development of the Global Change Analysis Model (GCAM), an integrated assessment model representing multi-sectoral dynamics in human-earth coupled systems. - Provided technical and administrative support to several international projects, investigating opportunities for global decarbonization and energy efficiency improvement; led data analysis and visualization in collaboration with several different international stakeholders; co-led the Digitalisation Working Group alongside the PNNL team. I was recognized with an outstanding performance award for my contribution to the success of our projects. Show less

Research Intern

• Jun 2020 - Aug 2020

- Developed a process design for a net-zero metal-oxide enhanced chemical looping gasification process for hydrogen production while eliminating several parasitic energy requirements associated with conventional technologies. - Created a thermodynamic model in Aspen Plus to investigate trade-offs in key operating characteristics, including reactor temperature profile and syngas distribution. Results showed a comparative advantage of the new process design in terms of Hydrogen production efficiency. - Recognized for my research in the Ignite Off National Presentation Competition, where I was chosen as a finalist.
