Job Description

POSTDOCTORAL ASSOCIATE, Chemical Engineering (ChemE), to join a project focused on developing advanced decision-support tools for exploring the potential of demand-side flexibility in decarbonizing energy systems. The project will focus on building the modeling framework to link the hydrogen, CO2 infrastructure, and bulk power system with the distribution power system in a highly granular regional energy system.  Accurately representing these infrastructures within macro-scale energy systems models is essential to studying the holistic impact of technologies and policies and will require advances in modeling as well as solution strategies to enable computational tractability. As a case study, the developed framework will be used to evaluate deep decarbonization pathways for ERCOT with a focus on the role of demand.
