Join us at this special evening event, STEM Night: The Future of Energy, to learn about the wide range of career opportunities available in energy, engineering and environmental science fields. At this free event, you can engage in hands-on activities, hear from experts in the field through a panel discussion, and network with STEM professionals. Light refreshments will be provided.

Panelists include:

Marie-Nicole Trimboli is a New York State licensed professional engineer and a graduate of The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, where she received a Bachelor of Engineering degree specializing in mechanical Engineering. She is currently a senior planning analyst in Con Edison’s Steam Operations Planning group, responsible for natural gas planning, analysis for the steam generating stations, and technical projects. Before joining Con Edison, Marie worked at WSP Flack + Kurtz as a consulting engineer, designing HVAC systems for various projects.

Greg Hastings is an engineer at Consolidated Edison where he manages large-scale construction projects. In his time at Con Edison, Greg has overseen many construction projects including conversions of power plants from oil to natural gas, upgrades to reduce power plant emissions, extensive work on Con Edison’s transmission lines on the Queensboro Bridge, and multiple storm hardening upgrade projects resulting from Hurricane Sandy. Greg received a Bachelor of Civil Engineering from the University of Delaware and is currently pursuing his Master of Business Administration at New York University. He is also a graduate of Con Edison’s Growth Opportunities in Leadership Development (GOLD)Program and holds an Engineer in Training (EIT) certificate.

Alex de Sherbinin is the associate director for science applications at the Center for International Earth Science Information Network(CIESIN), an environmental data and analysis center within The Earth Institute at Columbia University, specializing in the human aspects of global environmental change. Dr. de Sherbinin is a geographer whose research interests focus on the human aspects of environmental change at local, national and global scales.

He holds a doctorate in geo-information science and earth observation from ITC at the University of Twente (Netherlands), and master’s and bachelor’s degrees in geography from Syracuse University and Dartmouth College, respectively. Prior to joining CIESIN, he served as a USAID Population-Environment Fellow with the Social Policy Program of International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN, Gland, Switzerland), and a population geographer at the Population Reference Bureau (PRB, Washington, DC). From 1984-1986 he served as an agricultural extension agent with the U.S. Peace Corpsin Mauritania, West Africa.
