"In my first two rotations, I tried engine controls and engine components...It wasn’t until my third rotation in energy storage that I knew what I wanted to do. With that, I am working on one of the most exciting projects at the business. We are designing the battery for a 100-percent battery electric locomotive. I own packaging the controller electronics or brains of the battery, while still holding onto my freshman dream of making a greener planet."
