My name is Joe Holbert and I'm from Bridgeport, WV. I graduated with my BS in Chemical Engineering from WVU in May 2023 and joined the group as a PhD student in June 2023. My primary experience comes from my undergraduate Senior Design project in which I worked on modeling and optimization of a calcium-looping carbon capture process for DAC application. My research involves the dynamic optimization and model-based control of a carbon capture system using an advanced water-lean solvent. I enjoy playing disc golf, chess, board games, and watching youtube in my free time.
