I’m a fourth-year Ph.D. student in the Mechanical Engineering Department, working with the Energy Conversion Group at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. My research focuses on characterizing the mechanical properties of polymers used in low-temperature water electrolyzers for green hydrogen production. This work supports the development of a clean, hydrogen-based energy economy that might one day arbitrage the supply and demand of renewable but intermittent energy sources.
You can often find me pleading with a load cell to give me more consistent stress-strain results, working late into the night at the Advanced Light Source on the hill, or running the fire trails behind it with my dog to unwind. I also enjoy rock climbing and surfing, and when I’m not moving, I love learning new things! J’essaie d’apprendre le français et la guitare.
