1. The standard bio layout contains: your name, academic background, work experience, research domain, research methodology, research description, publications, a black-and-white portrait, personal website and professional website... in that order. Students early in their career may only have content for some of these sections. That's cool. Add more when you have it!

2. Anything sandwiched in-between a pair of start-bracket htmlcomment end-bracket is not displayed in viewer's browsers.

3. Look at the menu options beneath this window. One of the options is "Label." You can now label your bio which enables... drum-roll... indexing. Please choose from the pre-seeded labels.

Research Description:

Amy's research focuses on developing expansion planning tools for electric power systems and evaluating successful business models to expand electricity access and increase system reliability in developing countries. Her current focus is on the role that regional power pools may play to overcome traditional barriers to increasing generating capacity, expanding access to electricity, and protection from climate change effects.

Amy's previous research analyzed the effects of installing large-scale solar generation in regions with high solar insolation that are heavily dependent on thermal and hydro generation, using Kenya as a case study.
