Dr. Rachel Moglen is a Research Staff Level IV in the Energy Systems and Climate Analysis Group at EPRI. Her research focuses on long-term integrated resource planning, risk analysis, and decision-making under uncertainty.
Prior to joining EPRI, Dr. Moglen was a Ph.D. student at the University of Texas at Austin in the Operations Research and Industrial Engineering program. Her graduate research explored the interdependencies between critical infrastructures including power, water, and wireless communications. Her dissertation work applied optimization frameworks to large-scale real-world systems to derive practical insights that support infrastructure resilience. During her time at UT Austin, Dr. Moglen was a Trainee in the Innovations at the Nexus of Food-Energy-Water Systems (INFEWS) NSF Research Traineeship Program and was awarded the P.E.O. International Scholar Award.
Dr. Moglen holds a Ph.D. in Operations Research and Industrial Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin, and an M.S. in Mechanical Engineering and a B.S. in Civil and Environmental Engineering, both from the University of Maryland, College Park.
