Spencer Bandi's Portfolio

I am a PhD candidate specializing in natural gas, biomass combustion, combustion process design and control, and emissions control in renewable energy generation. My research area focuses on optimizing ash fusion temperatures during biomass combustion by the use of cheap and readily available additives. With over 2 years of experience in industrial manufacturing, I have led new product development projects that bridge innovative research with practical applications in the animal feed industry.  More of my experience, goals, and ambition are highlighted from an interview I had with Nora Shin a journalist from The Daily Universe Brigham Young University.

My expertise lies in creativity, critical thinking, hands on experience and fostering team collaboration to tackle complex real-world problems. These skills have not only driven successful outcomes in industrial settings but have also equipped me to contribute meaningfully to scientific research. As a PhD candidate, I have had the privilege of mentoring over 10 undergraduate students, guiding them in research projects, and helping them develop critical skills for their academic and professional journey. I recently received an award due to potraying some of these attributes [Access link]. Looking ahead, I am passionate about leveraging my technical expertise and leadership experience to advance sustainable clean energy solutions and contribute to innovations that make a lasting impact on the industry.
