The first report of the Open Energy Outlook (OEO) has been published. I am very happy to see this project milestone been accomplished. Congratulations to the co-PIs Paulina Jaramillo, Joseph DeCarolis (former co-PI now at EIA), Jeremiah Johnson and the whole OEO core team. The OEO is an initiative of Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and NC State University that aims to examine U.S. energy futures to inform energy and climate policy efforts by applying policy-focused academic modeling. One of the main goals of the OEO is to maximize transparency, and build a networked community. The project has been funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. The modeling effort is based on Tools for Energy Model Optimization and Analysis developed at NC State University in previous grants. The technical report can be accessed at the CMU website linked here.

Victor de Faria and Neda Jamaleddin, Ph.D. students at NCSU, presented yesterday our work on Assessing the Risk of Hurricane Damage to Marine Hydrokinetic Devices at Ocean Renewable Energy Conference in Portland. This conferences was sponsored by the University Marine Energy Research Community (UMERC) and the The Marine Energy Technology Symposium (METS). This work shows the developments of the research project led by professor Mo Gabr from NCSU and myself and has been sponsored by the NC Reneable Ocean Energy Program (NCROEP). We used Bayesian analysis and mechanical model simulations in Ansys-Aqwa to create fragility curve estimates for ocean current devices. The picture below shows Victor and Neda meeting with George Bonner (NCROEP program director).

One of the best and most bright students that I have worked with during my career was recently hired by the prestigious Binghamton University. Neha Patankar, who I had the privilege to co-mentor with professor Joseph DeCarolis at the Operations Research Graduate program at NC State University, was offered a position to be a tenure-track assistant professor of Systems Science and Industrial Engineering. After her Ph.D. at NC State, Neha work a postdoc for a few years at the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment at Princeton University working with professor Jesse Jenkings. An excerpt from Binghamton University webpage: “Neha Patankar’s expertise is in multi-attribute computational modeling and decision-making for energy transition, focusing on the rapidly evolving electricity sector. Her research supports energy policy decisions under deep techno-economic uncertainty, reveals system-wide technology and resource tradeoffs, and evaluates pathways for economy-wide decarbonization.” Dr. Patankar has a bright future ahead of her and Binghamton University and its students are lucky to have her as a faculty that will perform top-notch research and teaching related to decision-making and the energy transition. Congrats again Neha! (click here for Neha’s Linkedin post)
