Jackie

I am a postdoc at Carnegie Science, Stanford advised by Ken Caldeira and Steve Davis. I earned a PhD at Caltech advised by Nate Lewis in Chemistry and Environmental Science & Engineering. I combine techno-economics and materials chemistry to advance long-duration energy storage in reliable wind and solar systems.

Long-Duration Energy Storage

Motivation

Laws in several U.S. states mandate zero-carbon electricity systems based primarily on renewable technologies such as wind and solar power. Reliable and affordable electricity systems based on these naturally variable generation resources may depend on the ability to store large quantities of low-cost energy over long time-scales. My PhD thesis combined techno-economic analysis with materials chemistry to advance long-duration energy storage in reliable wind and solar electricity systems.

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.
