BACKGROUND

Prior to SAS, he was a Postdoctoral Researcher in Energy Economics and Engineering Systems at the University of Delaware, where he led research efforts funded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) National Science Foundation (NSF) on the current trends driving electric power system transformation, including the rapid growth of distributed energy resources, community choice aggregation schemes, policy design of renewable portfolio standards (RPS), and regulatory drivers that are accelerating innovations in the electricity sector.

Dr. Nyangon is also a Non-Resident Fellow of the Payne Institute at the Colorado School of Mines and a Research Fellow in the Initiative for Sustainable Energy Policy (ISEP) at the Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies.

He earned a Ph.D. and two master’s degrees focusing on energy systems engineering, computing systems, and energy economics from Columbia University, the University of Delaware, the University of Greenwich, and has a bachelor’s degree in engineering.
