About me

My areas of expertise are in solar energy, solar thermal (CSP), photovoltaics, computer modeling, mechanical engineering, combustion, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, air pollution (air quality), fire protection engineering (fire dynamics), and energy. My doctoral research at UC Berkeley dealt specifically with inverse diffusion flames (similar but inverted to a diffusion flame) and the formation of soot and PAH in fires and combustion in general. Since graduate school I have worked in the solar energy industry doing computer modeling of solar thermal (CSP) and photovoltaic energy systems.

I am also somewhat educated in pedagogy. I taught high school physics at Lighthouse Community Charter School in Oakland, CA, at the former McAteer High School (S.O.T.A) now the School for the Arts in San Francisco, CA and at Machame Girls Secondary School in Tanzania as a Peace Corps Volunteer.

In addition I contribute to open source such as SciPy and pvlib python, and I am volunteer on the NumFOCUS Affiliated Projects Selection Committee. I created the Sphinx Docs MATLAB domain for documentation auto-generation and a tool for calculating electrical mismatch in PV called PVMismatch.

You can find out more about me on my homepage. Thanks!
