Organization: National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)

Location: Boulder, Colorado
Type: Internship
Role: Environmental Engineer III
Term: Summer 2023

Worked at NREL for 10-weeks with the Wind Energy Science group. My project was focused on understanding and using machine learning to predict wind loading on concentrated solar power (CSP) collectors, a system that utilizes mirrors to reflect and concentrate sunlight onto receivers used through different mechanisms to generate electricity. At the end of the project, I identified 7 key variables for the understanding of wind loading on CSPs.

Type: Internship
Role: Environmental Data Analyst
Term: Summer 2022

Worked at ISO-NE for 12-weeks with the Advanced Technology Solutions team. My project was focused on optimizing and reconfiguring a machine learning model used to predict risk posed on transmission systems during extreme storms. At the end of the project, I minimized computation time for weather processing by 67%.
