Revolutionizing Energy: The Four Frontiers transforming Power Systems

Four problems are remaking the electricity sector at the same time: variable generation, electrified load, AI-driven demand growth, and climate stress on aging infrastructure. None of them get solved in isolation. My research and applied work organizes around all four — linked below.

Research and Decision Intelligence Thrusts

Power Systems Planning & Electrification

For utilities, ISOs, and grid planners. How utilities should plan generation, storage, transmission, and rapidly electrifying load in an era of variable resources and shifting demand. Includes my DOE work on $10B+ in IRA and IIJA programs — Home Energy Rebates, Building Codes, and Workforce Training — and recent research on physics-informed AI for electrical machines.

AI and Machine Learning for Energy

For utility CIOs, market participants, and policymakers managing the AI buildout. How AI and ML reshape both sides of the grid — improving forecasting, anomaly detection, and asset health on the supply side, while data-center loads add unprecedented demand on the consumption side. Includes my U.S. patent in ML data preprocessing, published work on anomaly detection in California prices, and physics-informed neural networks for maritime energy.
