Kai Lepley is a Ph.D. student at the University of Arizona’s School of Geography, Development and Environment. He works at the confluence of renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, and resilient land use. Kai sees light in every aspect of his life. His research uses light through a remote sensing perspective to study multifunctional land use—agrivoltaics, agroforestry, urban agriculture, and PV+. As a NASA Space Grant Fellow, he brings the science of light into southern Arizona classrooms through project-based learning and remote sensing curriculum. As a documentary filmmaker and photographer, he captures light to communicate science and the intersections of human livelihoods and natural biodiversity. Kai hopes to make the human impact on Earth a positive one.
