Page history last edited by Kyle Karber 9 years, 1 month ago

 

Kyle Karber is a PhD student in Mechanical Engineering at CU Boulder. He is researching the factors that affect the adoption of micro-scale renewable energy in developing communities, with a focus on solar PV in East Africa and Tanzania. Previously, he was working on a low-cost easily-manufacturable pico-wind turbine for developing communities, but a 2014 trip to Tanzania (funded by CU outreach) revealed that this endeavor was not likely to be successful without understanding and addressing the underlying factors that are preventing people from adopting currently available renewable energy technology, such as affordable solar lamps and solar home systems.

 

Before attending CU, Kyle completed his bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering with concentration in energy and the environment at Arizona State University. Subsequently, he worked at Oak Ridge National Laboratory as a research associate, investigating low global warming potential refrigerants as alternatives in domestic and commercial refrigeration applications. Additionally, he developed Labview applications for the Building Equipment Group, including data acquisition and control for various experiments.

 

Kyle was born in Iowa and grew up in Phoenix, Arizona. He has a great appreciation for the outdoors including snowboarding, fishing, and camping. He is addicted to racing his Ford Exploder on the ice of Georgetown Lake, and has placed 2nd and 3rd (beating Suabru STis and the like), and is in a position to win the overall 2015 racing season.
