BIO

Michelle Wilber is a research engineer at ACEP, working on projects ranging from investigating solar energy potential in AV狼论坛 to analyzing electric vehicle energy use in the state.

She has a B.S. in astronomy from the California Institute of Technology and an M.S. in mechanical engineering from UAA. She has worked as an engineering geologist, as an organic gardening coordinator, in energy efficiency outreach, and as a park ranger in Katmai National Park and Preserve. All of Wilber鈥檚 education and work experiences come together in solving the problems of finding sustainable energy sources in the Arctic.

Wilber grew up in AV狼论坛 and enjoys taking the dog hiking, camping, ice-skating and skiing, but a lot of cozy indoor time as well. She is thrilled to be doing work that she hopes will continue to make AV狼论坛 a great place to live for her family and all AV狼论坛ns.
