Randy Koon Koon

Randy Koon Koon is a Lecturer in Renewable Energy at the CEES School of Engineering, focusing on sustainable energy systems in the Caribbean region. His research emphasizes geothermal energy potential assessments, renewable energy policy analysis, and climate change mitigation strategies for Small Island Developing States (SIDS). Key areas of expertise include multi-criteria decision-making frameworks for energy planning, solar and wind resource modeling, and hydrogen production pathways.

Research interests span geothermal resource evaluation using stochastic methods (e.g., Monte Carlo simulations), solar radiation modification impacts, and energy transition challenges in Caribbean nations like Jamaica and Mexico. Collaborative work includes interdisciplinary studies on GIS-based wind energy siting, OTEC technology integration, and policy frameworks for achieving 100% renewable energy targets.

Publications highlight innovative approaches to energy system resilience, including stakeholder-balanced wind energy planning and greenhouse gas reduction strategies. His work frequently addresses technical, economic, and policy dimensions of transitioning to low-carbon energy systems in vulnerable regions.
