Penn State, State College, PA , M.S. Materials Science and Engineering
Penn State, State College, PA , Ph.D. Materials Science and Engineering
I was a graduate student at Penn State and I had a lot less hobbies!
I joined GE because I was very interested in working on materials in the alternative energy space. GE Global Research has diverse research programs in wind, solar, and fuel cells, it seemed like the best place to work to make an impact in alternative energy research.
Currently I am working on solid oxide fuel cells for power generation.
I like the faster pace of research in an industrial lab and the prospect of working on something that might be a game changer for power generation.
My advice to students is to consider applying for an internship during undergraduate and/or graduate school and talk to GE scientists/engineers at conferences. The best research on a company is done through face to face communication!
