معرفی
Neha Patankar is an Assistant Professor in the School of Systems Science and Industrial Engineering at Binghamton University. Her research focuses on multi-attribute computational modeling to support energy transition decisions, particularly in the electricity sector. She holds a PhD in Operations Research from North Carolina State University and previously served as an associate research scholar at Princeton University, contributing to projects like REPEAT and Open Energy Outlook.
Education:
- Bachelor of Engineering (BE) from Savitribai Phule Pune University
- Master of Operations Research (MOR) and PhD in Operations Research from North Carolina State University
Research Interests: Dr. Patankar’s work emphasizes robust energy transition strategies, power system planning, and decision-making under uncertainty. She develops models to evaluate economy-wide decarbonization pathways and assesses techno-economic trade-offs in energy systems. Her interdisciplinary approach bridges optimization theory, policy analysis, and real-world implementation challenges.
Publications Trends: Her recent work analyzes the impacts of federal policies like the Inflation Reduction Act, explores low-carbon power system designs, and evaluates energy storage technologies. These studies emphasize system-level trade-offs, grid flexibility, and policy effectiveness in accelerating decarbonization.
Labs/Teams: She collaborates on the REPEAT and Open Energy Outlook projects, providing independent analyses of U.S. energy and climate policies. These initiatives highlight her commitment to actionable insights for policymakers and industry stakeholders.
