Prior to his current position at MCC, Ryan was a dual J. Herbert Hollomon and Christine Mirzayan Science & Technology Policy Fellow within the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) working on engineering education initiatives and the application of operational system engineering techniques for peace building and diplomacy endeavors in Libya, Kenya, and Haiti.

Ryan recently completed his Ph.D. at UC Berkeley in mechanical engineering where he focused on the user needs analysis, co-design and implementation of sustainable homes and energy systems that meets the cultural sovereignty, economic, climate adaptation, and tribal sovereignty needs of Native American tribes in northern California.

Ryan received his M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley in 2008 with a concentration in design, and his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Alabama Agricultural & Mechanical University in 2006 with a concentration in propulsion systems.  Mr. Shelby also received certifications for his completion of the Engineering and Business for Sustainability and the Management of Technology programs at UC Berkeley in 2008 and 2010 respectively.

Ryan is an ardent supporter of engineering education and community based design research. He has received several awards for his teaching and community partnership activities such as the Center for Research on Social Change Graduate Fellows Award in 2011, the Chancellor's Awards for Public Service, Community Assessment of Renewable Energy and Sustainability - Pinoleville Pomo Nation Partnership in 2010, Outstanding Graduate Student Instructor Award in 2010, and the National Collegiate Inventors and Innovators Allianceâ€™s Advanced E-Team Community Assessment of Renewable Energy and Sustainability Award in 2007
