In his time working in the SAM Lab, he has discovered ways in which the campus can save costs and become more sustainable simultaniously. This method involves the recycling of plastics for the reuse in the commonly used 3-D printing processes used on campus.</span> <span style="font-size:small;">One of Trevor's driving forces is to have a positive influence on the Earth's ecosystem. That is, to help mitigate or even reverse the damage that has occured due to modern industrialization. One very important factor in the plans that As a University Innovation Fellow, he has to do developed campus-wide strategies that break down the barriers between various school departments, promote collaboration between alternate fields of study, and merge Sustainability and Innovative and Entrepreneurial practices for research students on campus.
