"The MSME program gave me the opportunity to connect engineering with nature. From my thesis on biomimetic materials science that analyzed the naturally occurring strength of seashells, to my courses in heat transfer and renewable energy. These gave me the solid foundation of HVAC system design I use to this day in making buildings operate more sustainably with our environment."
