Bio
I am a chemical engineer performing techno-economic analysis and life cycle assessment to support U.S. DOE and industry partner stakeholders. I use process simulation software to conceptually design industrial scale processes for cost and greenhouse gas emissions analysis. My analysis work often helps scientists and engineers to prioritize their works towards developing cost efficient and low carbon technologies.
