Soon after, he was leading a team of researchers and collaborating with a green energy start-up. He was the first and only UNT engineering student to be selected as a McNair Scholar, a competitive scholarship offered to top juniors and seniors at select schools around the country. In the summer of 2011, Jeremy accepted a research assistantship at the Milwaukee School of Engineering. This move allowed Jeremy to focus on his passion for innovation, leading to a grant in aid of research from Sigma Xi. This grant funded his development of a novel pyrolysis biomass

that were available and used on a previous project at Lawrence Tech in 2007, andintegrate these into a viable power system. This on-going project is a portable PV poweredprototype system with energy storage and various energy outputs. We have now physicallydemonstrated this integrated system’s ability to capture solar energy and convert it to DC power,to deliver 110 volts AC, and both 24 volt DC and 12 volt DC output power in both laboratoryand out-door experimental setups. Another important aspect of this project is that the PV powersource is expandable. The basic stand-alone cart has two PV modules (at approximately 100-watts each), but the design also allows for an additional four more PV modules (yielding to up to~600 watts total
