Mentor: Elisabeth Moyer, Associate Professor, Atmospheric Science
Sumiye Allen is an incoming second-year undergraduate interested in pursuing a double major in Environmental Science and the Geophysical Sciences. Her interests include the atmosphere, climate change, and climate and energy policy. She served as a research assistant for Professor Elisabeth Moyer, working to quantify and visualize the history of energy use in the US.
“I think that this internship has left me with a much better understanding of the US energy system and energy infrastructure, so it has given me some tools to better understand climate policy. Additionally, although I’m not exactly sure what my career will look like, the interdisciplinary nature of the project and the people involved in it has widened my perspective of what it means to have a career in climate.”
