Jackie

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.

Research Program: Analyze resource constraints. Guide technology innovation. Target multi-objective decarbonization challenges.

Long-Duration Energy Storage

Motivation

Reliable and affordable electricity systems based on variable wind and solar generation resources may depend on the ability to store large quantities of low-cost energy over long time-scales.

Macro-energy systems

I model energy storage technologies and study their roles in renewable electricity systems. Long-duration energy storage can reduce costs of wind-solar-battery systems with currently available technology.

Materials chemistry

I develop earth-abundant and acid-stable water splitting catalysts to improve hydrogen fuel production. Hydrogen fuel can be used for long-duration energy storage.

Broader Impacts

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.
