My name is Chase Nathaniel Robinson. I am a Ph.D. student in the Advanced Energy Systems program at The Colorado School of Mines. I worked at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) for about a year, and more recently, I worked at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). I have been accepted for a GEM National Consortium Fellowship, with NREL being my employer sponsor. My research focus will be on building systems and building materials. To be more specific, I am developing an energy model to retrofit water heaters with 3D-printed phase-changing materials to improve their efficiency. In my free time, I like to go tubing, adventuring, and traveling!
