As a climbing wall belayer at Lehigh University's Taylor Gym, my responsibilities include ensuring the safety of climbers and managing equipment for those on upper levels of Taylor Gym.
The primary objective of this research project is to explore the potential of DNA computing as an inventive method for data storage. Our team focuses on creating a lab-on-a-chip platform that utilizes open-source software and hardware to manipulate water droplets containing DNA.
I worked within the Project Engineering Management Department at Air Products. I supported the development of two Blue Hydrogen Plants, gaining exposure to steam-methane reforming, Air Separation technology, and piping systems. I also contributed to the creation of a new Data Maturity process to track engineering progress across teams and improve project management efficiency.
In this role, I worked within the Sustainable Service Systems Research Group at IIASA's Energy, Climate, and Environment Program. The S3 Group focuses on demand-side systems as entry points for sustainable transformations. The group analyses demand for energy and materials through the lens of service provision of mobility, shelter, and consumer goods, as well as how lifestyle changes can contribute to consumption reduction.
