Introducing ARPA-E’s 2024 INTEREST summer interns! Meet Colton Moreno, a civil engineering major at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas. This summer, Colton is assisting the HESTIA project at Clemson University, developing an entirely wood floor system designed for carbon negativity, future adaptability, and sustainable end-of-life de/re/construction. Colton is working closely with the structural engineering team to advance construction, testing, and evaluation of the novel mass timber floor system’s end-of-life potential. Stay tuned to learn how this hands-on experience has provided Colton with practical skills and insights that extend far beyond the classroom.
