About Us

Hello there!

My name is Miku Lenentine and I am a PhD student at the University of Washington.

I am the lead investigator for this research study. For my dissertation research, I am studying the social impacts of biofuels in the Pacific Northwest. Specifically, I am interested in studying the social discourse surrounding the “biofuels conversation” and how this might suggest future social acceptability of biofuels in the region. For more information about me, you can visit my website at: www.mikulenentine.com.

My commitee chair is Dr. Stanley Asah.  For more information about Dr. Stanley Asah and his research, please visit his faculty page here: http://www.cfr.washington.edu/sfrpublic/people/FacultyProfile.aspx?PID=343
