Energy Research & Grid Strategy

Work at the intersection of transportation electrification, grid infrastructure, and energy markets. Five years managing battery electric vehicle programs at Volvo Trucks has made grid coordination a daily operational reality — not an abstraction.

Core Research Thesis

The U.S. curtails over 20 million MWh of renewable energy annually — not because the energy doesn't exist, but because no one coordinates who uses it, when. A two-layer framework combining Grid Enhancing Technologies (GET) with renewable-aware digital demand coordination (AI training workloads + EV and truck charging flexibility) can reduce transmission congestion and curtailment without waiting for new infrastructure. New transmission takes 10–20 years. The demand is arriving now.
