the colors are off, so stay tuned to the when our paper on industrial heat decarbonization comes out! #USAEE

an energy economics conference on the day of the election is quite an exquisite experience

@madalsas @inesliaz congrats!! 🎉 you'll be missed dearly at the group

and some spoils of war from a gamified energy transition debate.
for anyone who hasn’t checked the work of @NicoleKelner, please do!

A bit late to post this, but I wanted to share that the synthetic jet fuel work I did in Switzerland with @tomterlouw, @RomainSacchi, and Christian Bauer is now out: https://t.co/OIrRGAGcHi ✈️
I started this project a bit over 2 years ago, and it's exciting to see it online now!

[Dimitri @DimitriSaad]

early PhD life is funny: i went from giving a lecture in my advisor’s optimization class to spending the rest of the day finishing a 4 day take home midterm 🤝 done

One success strategy:

Excellence and kindness.

You need to do excellent work and you need to be the kind of person that people want to work with.

Two things happened on the @California_ISO grid last night.
1) Battery storage discharge went over 6GW for the
first time
AND
2) Batteries were the largest source of supply.

The 'people' side of #energy
For #Stanford PhD candidate @DimitriSaad, understanding the path to #NetZero requires engaging not only with data, but also with the communities involved.

live from the EARNEST kickoff event where my awesome lab mates @kaambool and Nils are presenting

[Dimitri @DimitriSaad]

@kaambool @madalsas it makes me sad that you don't know your lab mates Madalsa 😢

[Dimitri @DimitriSaad]

@RomainSacchi thanks Romain!

[Dimitri @DimitriSaad]

PhD candidate now 🥂 super excited for this next part of the PhD working with Adam & Inês!

[Dimitri @DimitriSaad]

here we go #PhD #QualifyingExam

[Dimitri @DimitriSaad]

proctoring an exam for the first time, how the tables have turned 🤝

[Dimitri @DimitriSaad]

it was indeed a blast!
thanks Greg for your great talk and demo for PowerGenome. looking forward to crossing paths again 🤝

[Greg Schivley @gschivley]

OpenMod meets the USA was a blast - let’s not wait 4 years to do it again! Great to talk open models/data with @CatalystCoop @NehaSPatankar @itsgreengreg @Dr_PatyHG @MatthiasFripp and more. Thanks @maxparzen @kaambool @inesliaz and everyone else who made it possible!

[Dimitri @DimitriSaad]

shoutout to @kaambool for his efforts in helping organize the event!

[Dimitri @DimitriSaad]

super excited for the Openmod workshop tomorrow. i'm looking forward to interacting with fellow scholars working on energy modeling and optimization 🤝
