I am a PhD student in the Stanford Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, Atmosphere/Energy Program.  I received my BS from The Ohio State University in June 2007 in Food, Agricultural, and Biological Engineering, with a minor in International Studies, and I recently graduated in June 2008 with my MS from the Stanford Atmosphere/Energy Program.  My focus area is renewable energy; I have done extensive work with biofuels and bio-based energy, and I am currently leading the SWEP (Solar and Wind Energy Project) student group at Stanford that develops and promotes solar and wind energy.  I plan to begin research to evaluate the ability of various energy technologies to solve critical climate, health, and energy problems. My advisor is Mark Z. Jacobson.
