Marilla Lamb

M.S. Mechanical Engineering, 2015
B.S. Environmental Engineering, 2012

For the past two years, Marilla has been working with environmental education programs including Wind for Schools and the Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals. With these programs, Marilla has worked with over 1000 K-12 students and over 100 teachers in Arizona, leading discussions and activities about wind energy. With Wind for Schools, Marilla has also helped to have 5 wind turbines installed in Arizona, and is now leading a project to design and build a bicycle-powered charging station for the NAU campus.

Recently, Marilla has also been working with ISES on two renewable energy-related studies. The first study aims to determine the solar variability at a site in Arizona, using various equipment and methods for data collection and analysis. The objective of the second study is to estimate the cost of integration of increasing wind and solar power generation for a local utility company.

Since graduating, Marilla has continued to work with Wind for Schools and ISES, and in the future hopes to work within the wind energy industry.
