About
Hello! I lead the research team at Clean Power Research. I've been involved in the field of solar energy for nearly 20 years. My mission is to contribute positively toward a fully-renewable future: a future less rife with externalities and in greater symbiosis with the planet we inhabit. In the past, I've been an independent consultant, entrepreneur and have a Ph.D. , M.Phil. and M.S. from Columbia University's School of Engineering and Applied Science.
I'm the author of nearly 50 scientific research publications and one patent on the subjects of renewable energy, particularly aspects related to the integration of Solar Photovoltaics into global electrical grids. You can read most of them on my ResearchGate page.
