Deana Aulisio has been working and studying at UNH's Environmental Research Group since 2001. Always a strong advocate for the environment, she recently became interested more specifically in energy conservation and alternatives. Last year, she contacted Simply Green to purchase biodiesel for her Green VW Golf. After discussing her desire to focus her PhD research on biofuels, they decided to collaborate on finding more sustainable feedstock solutions, particularly by using algae grown in photobioreactors. Currently, they are seeking funding to begin this research together. Last summer, Deana took a temporary position at the NHDES Air Resources Division, where she asisted the Energy Task Force in developing their Climate Change Action Plan for the Governor. She began her PhD research in Natural Resources Earth System Science at UNH in the fall of 2009.
