Sustainable Systems FORUM # 4

Explaining the Rate of Improvement in Energy Technologies

Jessika Trancik Jessika Trancik
Jessika Trancik
Come join us for our Sustainable Systems Forum series. The SS Forum is intended to explore topics of interest to those involved in the Sustainable Systems field of study, but all are welcome to attend these events. Speakers will present on topics in sustainability with opportunities for the audience to engage in the discussion.

SPEAKER: Jessika Trancik, Assistant Professor of Engineering Systems Division, MIT

Her interests include discovery and scaling of new energy technologies
as well as developing models to guide materials optimization.

ABSTRACT: The costs and environmental impacts of energy systems are dynamic, changing dramatically over time. Given the changing performance of technologies, how should we compare energy supply options to one another? Which technologies are poised to make a significant dent in greenhouse gas emissions?  I will present recent research that combines the development of novel quantitative models and theory, with the analysis of large datasets, to evaluate candidate energy systems. In addition to producing new insight on the rate of technological improvement, this research has generated technology design guidelines.
