My name is Arman Milanian with bachelors in mechanical engineering focus on renewable energy and I have been involved in permaculture since 2016. My first exposure was with Shad Qudsi at Lake Atitlan Organics farm in Guatemala in 2016. I am also trained in aquaponics by Anacostia Aquaponics and mycology by Radical Mycology. Furthermore, I have received Permaculture Design Certificate from the Greening The Desert Project by Geoff Lawton in Jordan in 2019. I currently work in the intellectual property since 2013 and have been a board member of The Reed Center a permaculture research center in Maryland since 2018 and member of Forested Food Forest in Maryland since 2016. Currently working on my own project near University of Maryland for creating an experimental urban permaculture farm with sustainable energy production.
