This work would not have been possible without the financial support of Xcel Energy for sponsoring my research and attendance at FSI. I would like to thank my mentor Clayton Orback for guiding my partner Ferin along with the author through the research. Along with Dr. Jan Chaloupka for opening his lab for our research and also guiding us. I am extremely grateful to everyone who helped me edit this paper and help me through this process including Ammie Bray, Jaden H, Michael Winchester, Reily Moen, and my mom Brooke Dannar. I would like to thank Taylor McMillan for advising through this entire process, answering questions, and reading my paper. I am grateful for Ammie Bray adopted a new advisee and answered many questions and also guided me through this process. Along with Lori K. Ball without her, none have this would of been possible. UNC MAST institute thank you for allowing FSI to continue and supporting it. Lastly I would like to thank my parents Dustan and Brooke Dannar for always supporting me and teaching me that I can do anything I set my mind to.
