Bio
Morgan received his B.A in Physics from Hastings College and is expecting to receive his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Colorado State University this year. Morgan has worked in varied energy applications including exhaust after‐treatment for natural gas pipeline engines, advanced ignition systems for distributed energy resource applications, bio‐fuels and bio‐energy research, and energy for sustainable development. He serves on the Board of Directors for the Rocky Mountain Sustainable Living Association and on Technical Advisory Boards for EnviroFit International, a non‐profit start‐up company dedicated to developing and disseminating clean engine technology in Asia and InteGrid Test and Development Laboratory, a lab co‐founded by CSU and Spirae Inc., a Colorado based company specializing in infrastructure for distributed and renewable energy.
