Dr. Jesse P. Bukenberger is an Operations Research Specialist in the Energy Systems and Climate Analysis group. He joined EPRI in 2022.
His work focuses on developing new methods and algorithms to improve energy system models, and on using the structure of mathematical models to gain simple insights about the nature of complex problems in the energy industry. His research areas include climate resilient capacity planning, coordinated transmission and generation planning, extreme event characterization, and developing statistical and machine learning methods for scenario reduction and uncertainty representation. He is the capacity planning lead for EPRI’s Climate Resilience and Adaptation Initiative (READi).
Dr. Bukenberger holds B.S. and M.S. degrees in industrial engineering from The California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, and a Ph.D. in industrial engineering and operations research from The Pennsylvania State University.
