In the #energysector, this is a time of #growth, a time of #transition, #transformation and a time of great #opportunity. Thanks to an outstanding level of collaboration and cooperation between the South Carolina Department of Commerce, our state’s higher educational institutions, including but not limited to Clemson University, South Carolina State University, and University of South Carolina, private sector entities like Duke Energy Corporation and Dominion Energy, and public entities like Savannah River National Laboratory and Santee Cooper, our state is ready for such a time as this. #SCNexus

Who said undergrads can't publish? Coauthored my second paper and it's officially out! ?? In 2022, I joined a wonderful team with members from Universidad San Francisco de Quito, Fairfield University, and The University of Edinburgh to research the institutional, economic, and technical barriers to decarbonizing maritime transport in the Galapagos Islands. This study underscored the importance of water taxi owners in this decarbonization effort. We just published our results on their individual and group preferences for electric outboard engines in the Journal of Transportation Research Part D (Q1, impact factor: 7.6!).

Key considerations in selecting a laboratory site as higlighted by LTS Health. Choosing the right location, ensuring proper zoning and purpose, planning for future space and growth needs, and addressing critical infrastructure requirements are all crucial steps that can make or break a laboratory’s long-term success.

"My work matters, and that motivates me. Whatever I work on in the fellowship, even if the bill dies, the concept can and probably will come back if it had a lot of traction. It means that people care. It makes an impact on their lives, which feels great."
