Details
Professor Jesse Jenkins and his ZERO Lab (Zero-carbon Energy systems Research and Optimization Laboratory) conduct research to improve and apply optimization-based macro-energy systems models to evaluate low-carbon energy technologies, guide investment and research in innovative decarbonization solutions, and generate insights to improve energy and climate policy and planning. The work is motivated by a desire to improve and support real-world decisions and accelerate the transition to clean energy. Jenkins will discuss how he selects research aimed at public impact and the strategies and efforts used to ensure the insights of his work find their way to the right decision makers.
Speaker: Jesse Jenkins, Assistant Professor, MAE and Andlinger Center, GradFUTURES Faculty Fellow in Professional Development innovation
