Alana has worked on a diverse range of projects as a former intern with the Alaska Center for Energy and Power, from studying the effects of snow accumulation on solar panels to developing pseudocode for demand response simulation software. She is currently on the path to pursue her Master's in Mechanical Engineering at the College of Engineering & Mines. Alana dreams of one day becoming a Sourdough, and loves to cross-country ski, travel, hike, and haul water when she's not doing research.
