Eva has worked at the Broad Institute, a research collaboration of MIT, Harvard and its affiliated Hospitals and the Whitehead Institute, as an automation specialist in the Technology Development Group. She has experience in process development and automation modifying existing machines, integrating components to form new machines, and understanding process flows. A mechanical engineer by training, she has worked on a several next generation DNA sequencing technologies, trying to improve efficiency to make gene sequencing available to clinical medicine.
Eva brings a unique combination of research experience and philanthropic work in developing countries to RawSolar. She has experience with advanced modeling programs and mechatronic design tools and holds a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from the University of California at Berkeley. While at UC Berkeley, she participated in an epidemiological study that laid the foundation for the UV-bucket system, a World Bank funded project that provides a simple, sustainable option for disinfecting water. At Berkeley, she also worked on creating an "infinite battery" with piezo-electric structures, because of its potential for wireless environmental monitoring in "smart" buildings.
Eva volunteers for the Beehive School, located in Malawi, Africa. She first visited the school in 2006 and, one summer, created a program of science demonstrations for the young students. After returning to the US, Eva and some friends helped the school build a website and acquire non-profit status. Recently, her focus has shifted to help raise funds to build a safe and permanent structure for the quickly growing school.
