solar energy is becoming more and more popular source of energy in many countries. why is this? what are the advantages and disadvantages of solar energy?

When I started studying environmental engineering, I discovered an interest in the balance that can be found between industry and the environment. As my undergraduate studies progressed, I increased my interest in air quality and the impact it has on the life and health of people.

Therefore

I chose to do my thesis on the study of pollutants that are harmful to human health

such

as particulate matter and its behaviour during the mandatory quarantine in the city of Bogota due to the contingency caused by covid 19.

Similarly

, while doing my thesis and taking other courses, I gained knowledge on climate change issues, which allowed me to understand in-depth the relationship between

this

phenomenon, air quality and,

for example

, the high consumption of non-sustainable energies worldwide.

Therefore

, when researching and analyzing the measures that can be applied to contribute in part to climate change, I observed that the path of

sustainability

and greater implementation of renewable energies would have a positive effect with respect to the emissions that we currently generate.

Furthermore

, during

I did an academic internship at Telefonica Colombia or commercially Movistar in the department of

Sustainability

Management

, where I had a positive performance and acquired experience and knowledge about corporate

sustainability

focused on the

energy

and telecommunications sector. Following

this

work experience, in 2021 I joined the

company

CI Milpa SA, which is a family

company

and where I currently participate in areas of presidency, environmental

management

and

energy

projects. Among my work objectives is the creation of the

energy

and environmental departments in the

company

, where I can perform from my knowledge in environmental engineering based on the

management

and public policies that govern us nationally and internationally.

Likewise

, from the

energy

theme, one of the goals is the development and implementation of sustainable

energy

projects, taking into consideration that Colombia currently has a high potential for the use of solar and wind

energy

, in addition to having about 70% of its

energy

matrix based on hydropower. Considering the above, I believe that the Georgia Institute of Technology and the program offered by the master's degree in sustainable

energy

and environmental

management

fits adequately with the learning topics of my interest. Because the curriculum is multidisciplinary and focuses on executing in the practice of industries and companies everything related to

sustainability

. Another point that would be enriching for my career is that the institute focuses on analysis and problem solving which I consider a valuable skill to apply in a country like Colombia whose political, social, economic and environmental context is very varied. For

it would be an honour to be able to study at one of the best universities that have expertise in the field of

sustainability

and

energy

, as well as to be able to meet and learn from faculty members who are leaders in environmental

management

.

Finally

, like many other professionals in the environmental field, I hope through these studies to be able to positively support a

company

and my country through correct environmental

management

and the application of clean energies.
