Katie Brennan is a Climate Data Analyst at EPRI in the Energy Systems and Climate Analysis group. Working on the Climate Resilience Analysis team, she supports research and development of climate data and advancing analysis capabilities. Her research quantifies climate impacts on the electric power sector.
Prior to joining EPRI, Katie worked as a Data Scientist at TGS where she focused on building data tools for offshore wind development. This involved building cloud-based data pipelines as well as bias corrected model datasets. During her PhD, she applied data assimilation techniques to reconstruct Arctic climate over thousands of years to put current changes in context.
She holds a bachelor’s degree in mathematics and physics from Lewis and Clark College and a master’s and PhD in Atmospheric Sciences from the University of Washington. She is based in Seattle, WA.
