Personal Statement
I am an avid wood worker which is why I was originally drawn to ESF. After completing my Wood Products Engineering degree I found the job market to be less hands-on than I desired so I came back to ESF to study Construction Management. At first I started researching building science and energy conservation but then my interests shifted toward energy production, which is where I discovered the benefits of wind energy and have been researching the topic ever since.
Graduate Research Topic
For the past several months I have been focusing on the constructability of offshore wind farms in the Great Lakes. But since the approval of Cape Wind at the end of April I have begun to study varying wind turbine installation techniques.
