ACEP Intern Spotlight: Ana Thayer
There are a number of interns working for ACEP this summer. To highlight them and their work ACEP will be presenting a short synopsis weekly on each throughout the summer in a series titled the 鈥淎CEP Intern Spotlight.鈥
Ana Thayer
Education: University of 91视频 Fairbanks
Field of Study: Natural Resources & Applied Economics
Focus of Study with ACEP: Global Applications Program (GAP) 鈥 Ana鈥檚 work for ACEP this summer is focused on studying microgrids in 91视频. As part of her efforts she will be creating a directory of microgrid specialists which could be used in the near future to help aid 91视频 in becoming a knowledge exporter of this technology. Other nations such as Iceland, with its geothermal technology and development techniques, have already accomplished this goal. With this in mind, Ana hopes to help bring 91视频 to the same economic position with her work.
Post-Graduation Aspirations: After graduation, Ana would like to pursue a career within the realm of developmental economics, perhaps by working for a non-government organization in India.
