"Skytree is a direct carbon capture scale-up company in the Netherlands that develops systems to extract carbon dioxide from the air to be used in a variety of applications, including greenhouses, carbonated beverages, and carbon removal. Its system can be implemented in any climate worldwide. For my internship, I am figuring out how to implement an oxygen removal system through a literature review, numerical model, ANSYS computational fluid simulations, and an experiment for verification."
Adrienne's story
Adrienne Lai worked at Skytree in the Netherlands over the summer after graduating in 2025 with a bachelor's in mechanical engineering. Her internship experience gave her a strong background for grad school, with a lab working on carbon capture technology, which she would start in the fall.
"My favorite part of the MISTI experience was getting to know another country - learning their customs and culture is awesome! It's nice that the place that was once so unfamiliar is familiar. I have loved trying new things—riding a bike and the different foods!"Adrienne Lai '25
