Bio

I am an independent data science consultant specializing in green energy modeling -- most recently buildings, battery storage, and renewables. I finished my PhD in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research at UC Berkeley in 2016, where my research focused on the economics of electricity markets, particularly incentives and private information in the context of demand response and renewables integration. After grad school I worked as a senior energy modeler at Ascend Analytics for a few years. I mostly work in Python, but am interested in Julia as well.
