This summer, we are thrilled to feature our incredible interns in a Q&A series highlighting their hard work and contributions to key projects. Kicking us off is Sarah Eppley, a Battery Testing and Analytics Intern who has been a valuable asset to our technology team.   1) Why did you choose to intern at Nanoramic? Sarah: I was very excited to get the opportunity to intern at Nanoramic this summer. I have been interested in renewables and energy storage for a long time and was eager to get outside the classroom and see how they played out in industry and what I could contribute. Nanoramic itself is in a really impressive spot working on batteries that can deliver on performance while eliminating harmful environmental components like NMP and PFAS. I, personally, think these considerations are so important for the future and wanted to learn and help out as much as possible.   2) What have you been working on this summer? Sarah: Over the course of the summer, I have been lucky to get to learn the battery fabrication process from slurry, to electrode, to cell. Most of my work now focuses on the cell testing and data analysis side working with my supervisor, Timothy Chu. I really enjoy the diversity of my days here, I love being in the lab and working with the various stages of the process and then getting to see how changes play out on the testing side.   3) What has been the most challenging aspect of your internship so far? Sarah: The most challenging aspect thus far has been the knowledge gap entering the well-developed battery field. Working here I am surrounded by an extremely knowledgeable team, for which I am very grateful, that has taught me about batteries and showed me that I still have a lot to learn. Working on the data analysis end specifically has forced me to dive deeper into the understanding behind topics, as it is not enough just to make a graph. You have to know what it means in a given context. Between working in the lab, learning from colleagues’ updates in our weekly technical sync, and asking a lot of questions, I continue to learn and grow everyday.   4) What are your goals for the future and how do you see this internship helping you achieve them? Sarah: At my core, I love nature and I believe in a better future. We have a long way to go in terms of a completely sustainable and equitable society but I feel it is my responsibility to further this movement. Through my work at Nanoramic I have already gained so much knowledge about batteries and their various applications. Almost more importantly though, I have had the opportunity to experience working on a team of dedicated, intelligent, and kind individuals who inspire me to work harder and study more. Stay tuned for the next Q&A with another one of our summer interns. If you are interested in an exciting, challenging, and rewarding internship opportunity, please reach out to us!   #Internship #SummerInternship #STEM #CleanTech #CleanEnergy #BatteryTechnology #Neocarbonix
