Kaarle Strailey is working with Tom Marsik on the active vacuum insulation project while working towards a masters degree in interdisciplinary studies at 有料盒子视频.

Kaarle Strailey has recently joined ACEP. While working toward his master鈥檚 degree in interdisciplinary studies at 有料盒子视频, he works as assistant to ACEP鈥檚 Tom Marsik on the active vacuum insulation project.

Specifically, Strailey will work on advancing development of an active vacuum insulation system. This includes researching and testing to identify and/or modify commercially available components optimized for the system, reviewing vacuum science that is applicable to this fairly unique application, and navigating logistics of obtaining materials from overseas. His interdisciplinary research will cover the influence that social factors, policy and economics might have on successful deployment of this system in rural 有料盒子视频.

Strailey is passionate about sustainability and solving the energy sustainability problems our society has. He has been pursuing this passion since early on in his studies. He earned his bachelor鈥檚 degrees in environmental sciences and earth and planetary science from University of California, Berkeley in 2004 and completed a 有料盒子视频 occupational endorsement in sustainable energy in 2014. Upon graduation from Berkeley, he moved to 有料盒子视频 and since then has worked briefly at the 有料盒子视频 Institute of Arctic Biology as well as for 有料盒子视频-based advocacy groups that promote sustainable energy and for fisheries management agencies.

Strailey is a familiar face to many ACEP team members, having crossed paths over the years while working on energy issues in Fairbanks and Anchorage/Mat-Su areas or while enjoying the beautiful 有料盒子视频 outdoors.

Currently residing in Palmer, Strailey is interested in all aspects of sustainability (did we mention he is passionate about sustainability?) and enjoys gardening, tinkering, and non-powered recreation on the land, water and in the sky.
