Noah started his Ph.D. in Energy Systems in Fall 2022, studying interactions between solar energy and soils – namely, the impacts of ecovoltaic practices on soil carbon sequestration and storage. Noah obtained his B.S. from UC Davis in Civil and Environmental Engineering, with a minor in Sustainability in the Built Environment. Noah looks forward to researching the nuances of dual-use solar, not only to provide ecological benefits, but to inform management practices that maximize soil carbon sequestration, improve efficiency of energy generation, and provide communities with actionable steps to reclaim degraded land.
