I am delighted to announce that I have received a PEAK Ascent Research Award for the Fall 2023 semester- a research grant of $1500 to begin the initial lab research phase of a potential clean energy project in Sadhguru School Uganda. This research aims to determine the biochemical methane potential of a specific organic waste substrate using a respirometer sensor method to determine its theoretical methane yield and assess its potential as feedstock for a biodigester. The study will be conducted within the context of a rural Ugandan school by calculating the theoretical methane yield of the school’s organic waste to aid in the technical designing of a biodigester system for the school. Results will contribute to the implementation of a desperately needed clean energy biogas system at the school to replace current unsustainable sources of firewood and diesel generators. I am deeply thankful to the Northeastern Undergraduate Research and Fellowships Office for this award, and my mentor Professor Annalisa Onnis-Hayden for her thorough guidance, support and commitment.
