Work History
Graduate Research Assistant
Cockrell School of Engineering, The University of Texas at Austin
2021.08 - Current
- Duration: 3 yrs 1 mo
- -Our group is aiming to design a sensor network, named Project Astra, that would detect unintended methane emissions quickly and reliably from oil and gas production sites
- This can help with finding and fixing leaks in a timely and cost-effective manner, in comparison to other current methane monitoring technologies and approaches, thus, potentially aiding in the reduction of methane gas emissions from existing oil and gas wells in the U.S
- Since I've joined Dr
- David Allen's research team, I've worked on intercomparing the sensor data, which helped to determine the cheapest and most efficient sensor for the network design
