Julie Deshommes is a Senior Undergraduate student at Florida Atlantic University studying Environmental Engineering. Living in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti for the better part of a decade opened her eyes to the realities of those living in severe pollution and energy poverty. This contributed to her growing passion for Environmental Engineering and Sustainability. Julie began her career at FAU in 2015 as a dually enrolled student, later taking on a full course load and immersing herself in the world of research. Over a year, while under lockdown, she researched Air Revitalization techniques that outperformed NASA’s existing technologies and has since been named the2020 “Undergraduate Researcher of the Year” under FAU’s College of Computer Science and Engineering.
