Jonathan is an engineer turned energy systems analyst and is interested in studying decarbonization. He is currently focused on the electric sector and has researched topics including:

• Energy storage
• Geothermal energy
• CO2 Transportation and geologic storage
• Utilization of geologically stored CO2
• Variable renewable energy integration

To to this, Jonathan has developed experience building, using, and integrating tools such as:

• Capacity expansion models of the electric power system
• Economic dispatch models of the electric power system
• Price-taker optimization models
• Coupled plant-level models of geothermal wells and power plants
• Cost models of geothermal power plants
• Cost models of geologic CO2 storage sites
• Dynamic programs
• Reservoir simulation

When he is not crunching numbers, Jonathan enjoys running, skiing, reading, cooking (and eating!), and cheering for The Ohio State Buckeyes.
