"This project can serve as a case study in energy systems or environmental engineering courses to demonstrate practical applications of solar power data."

-Sai UNM

"This can be a group project where the students can learn how solar energy works."

-Manasa UNM

"This project could be applied academically by using the knowledge gained to further my academic skill set."

-Kyle ZHS

"Of course most of is theoretical so it would be a learning experience."

Lakshman

Hey, I’m Lakshman and I  get excited by progress—big or small. I’m naturally curious and love connecting the dots between ideas, people, and outcomes. Whether I’m contributing to a group effort or taking initiative on my own, I bring a thoughtful, can-do attitude and a strong sense of accountability.

I thrive when I'm learning and evolving. I enjoy diving into unfamiliar situations, figuring things out piece by piece, and finding smarter, more effective ways to get things done. I believe in asking the right questions, listening closely, and staying grounded in both empathy and purpose.

For me, it’s not just about checking tasks off a list—it’s about doing meaningful work that adds value. I’m someone who’s dependable, open to feedback, and always looking for ways to grow. At the heart of it all, I care about making a positive impact—on the team, the project, and the people around me.

Manasa

Hi, I’m Manasa I’am deeply passionate about making things better—whether it’s streamlining a process, solving a tough problem, or helping a team work more effectively. I love being part of environments where learning never stops, and I naturally gravitate toward challenges that require both curiosity and persistence.

I'm someone who values structure but thrives in ambiguity. I find joy in figuring things out, adapting quickly, and contributing to meaningful work. Whether I’m collaborating with others or working independently, I take ownership of what I do and always aim to deliver with integrity and intention.

I care about impact, not just output. I’m driven by a sense of purpose, and I try to approach every opportunity with thoughtfulness, humility, and the desire to grow—not just professionally, but as a person.
