Energy FAQ
Welcome all! Whether you are entering the world of energy research, a clean energy advocate, or just someone who wants to learn more, I hope this page will answer some of your questions. Here I'll tackle some fundamental questions on how our energy system operates, what technologies are used, and the challenges we are facing in the energy transition. I'll be stripping away the equations and jargon, and relaying concepts across disciplines like electrical and mechanical engineering, operations research, energy economics, and energy policy in an accessible way.
Hope to see you back here again soon!

Some books I've greatly enjoyed around the topics of energy, sustainability, technology, and scientific wonder.
