From a land far far away, Kanha is a junior EnvE major. Born and raised in a country with the most diverse flora and fauna in the world, Indonesia, he has developed a passion for the environment, sustainability and nature. Thanks to long history of keeping reef aquarium, Kanha has the ability to identify many coral and fish. He's even started comparing the Xi class to coral species. For example, Collin is a green star polyp. You can ask Collin to explain why.
This past summer, Kanha interned in Ithaca, helping AguaClara develop and prototype a Gravity-powered Wastewater Treatment System for developing countries. Previously, Kanha interned in Bali, where he worked with a five-star hotel chain to help make them zero waste to landfill. On campus, he was a research advisor for AguaClara and is involved in the training of retrievers and shepherds with Guiding Eyes for the Blind.
This semester, Kanha is currently a Data Analyst Intern in a building energy efficiency company in Ithaca as part of the COOP program. He is currently getting the best of all worlds; participating in an internship, while remaining in Ithaca, without taking any classes.
Kanha is big fan of coffee, which is why he's always attempting to get people to join him for a cup of coffee from his endless collection of coffee. He often creates impromptu plans to get Gimme Coffee with Julia, Liz and Anuj, or convinces people (particularly Emma) to join him on random trips to far locations.
