Bio:

Solomon Kim is a masters student at Stanford in Sustainability Science. After the wildfires impacted his hometown of Los Angeles, Solomon has been focused on making a difference for the issue of extreme heat. He previously did his BS Environmental Engineering and Computer Science at Stanford. Solomon is from Los Angeles and previously conducted research related to understanding battery lifetime prediction using machine learning and and also computer vision for PV output.

The central topic of these seminar series is modeling approaches to facilitate resource conservation and a just energy transition. Potential subtopics are an emerging technology’s potential for scaling, life-cycle assessment for measuring social and environmental impacts, uncertainty quantification, and economic modeling for the energy transition. Our goal is to create an intimate, collaborative space for students, postdocs, scientists, and PIs within the Stanford techno-economic modeling and systems modeling community. These seminars will provide an opportunity to disseminate insights from your studies, connect with fellow researchers, and strengthen bonds across the community.
