“I joined the MECC team at the University of Houston because I am interested in the blue economy and renewable marine energy. I believe that these areas have the potential to make a significant positive impact on the environment and on the economy, and I wanted to be a part of a team that is working to promote and develop these technologies. Additionally, the competition being sponsored by the Department of Energy adds a level of legitimacy and importance to the work that we are doing, and I am excited to be a part of something that has the potential to make a difference on a national level.”
