Below are some of my research notes, opinion pieces, and project work related to environmental sustainability.
Hydroponics Project
Hydroponics Project - A hands-on project focused on hydroponic farming to address food insecurity. Our team designed a low-cost hydroponic system that can grow fresh produce year-round. The initiative partnered with seven community organizations and impacted over 2,000 people, mostly affecting children.- Green New Deal Opinion Piece
Green New Deal Opinion Piece - A critical analysis of the Green New Deal, balancing its ambitious goals with the reality of current technology and energy infrastructure. I argue that while immediate action on climate change is necessary, the feasibility of a 100% renewable grid depends on a radical overhaul of energy storage, grid modernization, and potential inclusion of nuclear power.
