Bio

Jacqueline A. Dowling (Jackie) is a postdoctoral fellow at Carnegie Science, Stanford modeling decarbonization pathways co-advised by Steve Davis and Ken Caldeira. Jackie earned her doctorate in chemistry at Caltech with a minor in environmental science and engineering advised by Nate Lewis.

Her PhD thesis combined techno-economic analysis with materials chemistry to assess and advance long-duration energy storage in reliable wind and solar electricity systems. By incorporating multi-decadal weather data into energy system models, she established that underground hydrogen can be a cost-effective solution for seasonal and multi-year energy storage.
