Welcome!
I am a Center for Research on Social Change and Alfred P. Sloan Ph.D. Scholar in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley.
I work in the Community Assessment of Renewable Energy & Sustainability (CARES) Lab & the Berkeley Energy and Sustainable Technologies (BEST) Design Laboratory headed by Dr. Alice Agogino.
My research interests include sustainability, engineering education, renewable energy, energy science policy, public engagement with science, design theory, indigenous knowledge, co-production of knowledge, social studies of science and technology, community based design and user needs assessment
My doctoral research involves design theory for the identification and incorporation of social performance metrics for energy and water efficient housing and renewable energy systems for power generation within Native American communities.
