2025 Student Cohort

Emerging Researchers in Energy Systems

The 2025 cohort includes two undergraduate students (a junior and a senior) and three graduate students (one Ph.D. and two M.S.), representing a strong mix of experience levels and technical interests. Their work spans key areas in modern energy systems, including microgrid planning, hydrogen energy systems, energy storage optimization, and grid stability and transmission. Together, the cohort reflects a balance of foundational knowledge and advanced research, with students contributing to projects that address critical challenges in reliable, efficient, and scalable energy infrastructure. Through the program, they are building technical expertise and gaining hands-on experience in tackling complex energy system problems.
