Community of Collaboration: UAA and UAF Partner on Energy Research

For UAA mechanical engineering undergraduate Henry Toal, working as an intern in ACEP’s Anchorage office has been a gratifying experience. He has had the opportunity to contribute to several research projects. 

“Something I really appreciate about ACEP,” Toal said, “is they gave me the trust and support right from the start to do meaningful work. It feels good to know that what I contributed makes Alaska a better place. And the ORCA (Onsite Realtime Collection and Acquisition platform) could really be used anywhere with older powerhouses — all across the world, really. So who knows what the impact will be?”
