Biography
David Wogan is a third year dual degree student at UT Austin pursuing masters degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Public Policy. His research interests lie in the potential production of low-carbon fuels in Texas, particularly algae-based biofuels. David chose the dual degree program because he believes many challenges our society faces are multidisciplinary in nature and we must improve communication between the technical and policymaking communities. David is originally from Austin and received his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from UT Austin before working at National Instruments. This summer, David will be an intern in the White House Council on Environmental Quality as a member of the Energy and Climate Change team.
