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 decarbonization solutions.

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.

Research

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).

Teaching & Mentoring

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.)

Broader Impacts

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.
