Dr. Andy Grieshop joined NCSU in January, 2012. Dr. Grieshop was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, British Columbia from 2008-2011. He received his BS in Mechanical Engineering from UC Berkeley and his MS in Mechanical Engineering and PhD in Mechanical Engineering and Engineering and Public Policy from Carnegie Mellon University. Prior to his re-entry to academia he led various other lives, working as a design engineer for a distributed energy technology start-up, teaching high school math and physics in New York City and building ecological toilets in a remote village in Mexico. He is an avid cyclist and enjoys a range of outdoor activities in his spare time.

Emily Floess Ph.D. Student emfloess@ncsu.edu office: 3101 Fitts Woolard Hall

Emily joined the group in Fall 2019 as a PhD student. She got her Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering and Master’s degree in Environmental Engineering from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. After her Bachelor’s, Emily was a 5 year Peace Corps volunteer in Liberia, teaching math, science, and adult education and worked for a water treatment nonprofit in Liberia for one year. While getting her master’s degree at Illinois, she measured emissions from improved and traditional stoves in China, brick kilns in Colombia and Nepal, and household energy usage in Nepal. Her master’s thesis project was developing a global solar resource map for a stored solar cooker. Her research interests are energy access and transitions in developing countries, and emissions from household energy sources. Emily likes running (especially ultras), biking, and travelling, and has been to every continent except Antarctica.

Current research: Energy poverty intervention evaluations, field measurements of cookstove emissions
