Summer 2024 Undergraduate Research Experience

We had the pleasure of welcoming Biniyam Gebreyohannes, a fellow from the UW Clean Energy Bridge to Research Program (CEBR), and Lillian Nguyen, a Clean Energy Institute ALVA fellow, for their Summer Research Experience. Biniyam explored how weather patterns affect Minigrid electricity behavior, drawing insights from the Katiirwe solar Minigrid in Western Uganda. Meanwhile, Lillian investigated Climate and Energy Injustice, focusing on racial and income disparities in access to indoor comfort. They were mentored by Ahana, Kwame, and Miquilina.
