Elise Mesenbring was a graduate student in the Mechanical Engineering department at CU Boulder. She grew up near Minneapolis, Minnesota and decided to continue braving those arctic winters while obtaining her BA in Physics and Mathematics at Gustavus Adolphus College in Saint Peter, MN. When Elise started at CU, she worked on the group’s previous cookstove project, REACCTING, and then transitioned to the P3 project. In her spare time, Elise enjoys boosting her endorphins at the gym, reading various crime/suspense novels and spending entire Sundays engrossed in football (Fly, Eagles Fly!).
