About me

I study the performance of solar power systems. I use science, math, and computers to analyze, predict, and optimize energy output and increase reliability. My goal is to make modeling tools that are robust, accurate, fast, well-documented, and easy to use. I believe that solar energy is an important resource that can be profitable and preserve our environment. For more information please see my curriculum vitae.
