Greetings, Erik and Lynne, I hope all is well at Swarthmore. Mark Piper and I got to meet Rebecca Chopp last week in Denver on her listening tour, and were very impressed by her. I've been working here at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory since August 2008, developing the Solar Advisor Model simulation software for solar technologies. It's a free downloadable application that combines complex performance models for photovoltaic and concentrating solar power plants with economic analysis to determine the feasibilty and impact of potential projects as well as help the Department of Energy allocate research dollars meaningfully to have the greatest impact. http://www.nrel.gov/analysis/sam Anyhow, my supervisor and I are on the lookout for any talented engineering and/or computer science seniors who may be looking for employment in renewable energy analysis. There is a lot to do here and a lot to learn, and so far NREL has been quite fun. Strong computer programming skills are essential to our needs (especially C/C++ and Fortran), since there are so many new capabilities we need to add to our modeling tools in short order, If you know of any students who might be interested in something like this, please have them email me directly without hesitation. Many thanks and best wishes, Aron Aron P.
