About

Anna-Katharina’s College Qualifications

When applying to college, my goal was to get into an Ivy League school. Throughout high school, I taught myself what I needed to do to achieve this, seeking resources and guidance everywhere I could find. Now, having attended, multiple top universities, I can use my extensive experience to guide others through the challenging but extremely rewarding process. I can advise on topics including developing a strategy for successful admissions (starting early in high school), preparing competitive application packages, and prepping for standardized testing and other requirements. Successful applications include Cornell University, Duke University, Vanderbilt University, and Rice University, among others. Please reach out, I am happy to help!

September 2023 - Present

My postdoctoral work focuses on powering energy-intensive decarbonization technologies, such as green hydrogen and carbon capture, with excess energy on the New York State grid that would otherwise be wasted. I model optimal renewable energy and battery capacity to cost-effectively meet state goals while reducing emissions.
