Steffi O. Muhanji graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Physics and a Computer Science minor from Vassar College in 2014. She continued on to complete her Bachelor of Engineering degree with a focus on energy systems at the Thayer School of Engineering in June 2016. In Fall 2015, Steffi joined the LIINES as an undergraduate researcher and has since decided to continue as a Ph.D. candidate in engineering. Her research interests are in renewable energy integration and electric microgrids. Alison E. Flint received her Bachelor of Arts in Economics from Dartmouth College in 2015. She joined the lab from the Fall of 2017 to the Spring of 2018 working on “The Development of the Energy Internet of Things in Energy Infrastructure.” She continues her Master of Sc. studies at the University of Texas at Austin in Electrical and Computer Engineering. Her research interests include energy markets, eIoT, renewable energy integration, microgrids, distributed energyresources, and smart cities.Prof. Amro M.
