EDUCATION
Professional Science Masters, Applied & Industrial Physics The University of Arizona (05/2010)
Thesis Title: Applications of Anaerobic Biogas Digesters in the Philippines: The Social, Economic and Environmental Motivation for a
More Effective Biogas Digester Design
The solution outlined in this paper focuses on the affectivity of anaerobic digester systems as they depend on economic
conditions, political institutions, site choice, manure assessment, temperature, and mixing technology. Given the social and
political environment in the Philippines, I have presented a more robust digester design with passive mixing components
including BETE TurboMixTM nozzle mixing, system overflow mixing, and BoundaryBreakerTM mixing. The three technologies
work together to increase total system mixing, and theoretically, increase gas output. C Trade in the Philippines is currently
developing the system.
Extended Focus: Top to bottom photovoltaic analysis including particle physics of silicon cells, solar array analysis and sizing, and
residential solar panel sizing, permitting, siting and installation.
