DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nRe-engineering our energy systems requires radical 
 but practical new thought in how we design and operate them. Many societie
 s are poised to make massive\, costly\, and technically challenging invest
 ments to decarbonize and electrify existing infrastructure. Demand managem
 ent options\, exercised on an unprecedented scale\, can reduce the level o
 f investment required. These options include storage\, smart scheduling\, 
 and much greater efficiency and flexibility in energy end use. We do not n
 eed to overbuild our energy systems. Instead\, automation\, distributed se
 nsors\, smart modeling\, optimization\, and software can all be used to pr
 ovide services with the same quality to humans with less infrastructure an
 d less energy consumption. With my collaborators\, I have already implemen
 ted some of our ideas in live environments and shown how they can be rapid
 ly scaled. Our city-scale decarbonization experiments with electrified\, i
 ntegrated energy systems explored the diverse roles of thermal storage\, d
 emonstrated megawatt-scale flexibility\, and generated revenue. We also de
 veloped an 85\,000 m2 experimentation testbed at Stanford to “stress tes
 t” multi-zone commercial buildings and show how modest changes to room t
 emperature settings could be used to avoid multi-million-dollar investment
 s.\n\nBio\n\nI am an Independent Research Consultant at Stanford for Total
 Energies and an Adjunct Professor in the Energy Science & Engineering depa
 rtment. My research approach draws on technical engineering\, mathematical
  modeling\, and software engineering. My background has led me to work on 
 solutions across traditional disciplinary barriers\, in productive collabo
 rations with engineers\, mathematicians\, and economists. I create 1) math
 ematical models of integrated energy systems\; 2) computational tools to d
 esign and operate them in new ways\; and 3) software prototypes to conduct
  real-world efficiency and flexibility experiments with cyber-physical sys
 tems. I wrote my PhD dissertation in Stanford’s Energy Science & Enginee
 ring department\, advised by Profs. Sally Benson and Peter Glynn. I am als
 o an Ingénieur Polytechnicien from the French Ecole Polytechnique (X2011)
