I use weather data in macro-scale energy models to guide energy infrastructure plans and tech innovation. My PhD combined techno-economics and materials chemistry to assess and advance long-duration energy storage in reliable wind and solar systems. Postdoc advisors: Steve Davis at Stanford, Ken Caldeira at Carnegie.
I am best known for my research on long-duration energy storage which has been cited 350+ times in Google Scholar. I am co-author of 12 peer-reviewed publications (four first author).
I have experience developing courses and mentoring Caltech undergrads in sustainable engineering. (See also: Energy system modeling graduate-level course by Tom Brown - 800 slides and 18 hours of videos.)
I participated in the 2024 Energy and Climate-Tech Innovation Policy “Boot Camp” for Early Career Researchers in Washington D.C. Our cohort is developing a climate-energy research brief web-platform bringing academic research to policymakers.
