Christopher Greig

Theodora D. ’78 and William H. Walton III ’74 Senior Research Scientist at the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment

Gerhard R. Andlinger Visiting Fellow in Energy and the Environment (2018-2020)

Location: Andlinger Center
Phone Number: 609-258-7833
Email Address: cgreig@princeton.edu

Research Description:

Chris Greig is the Theodora D. ’78 and William H. Walton III ’74 Senior Research Scientist at the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment, Princeton University. He has a Bachelors, Masters, and Ph.D. degrees in Chemical Engineering from the University of Queensland; is an Honorary Professor at The University of Queensland and University of Melbourne; and a fellow of the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering. He is also a member of the Sustainability External Advisory Council at Dow Chemical Company.

Prior to academia, Chris spent almost 3 decades in the energy and resources industries, as a successful company founder, senior executive and non-executive director, across 4 continents. Central to all of his experience, was the development, delivery, and sometimes operations of capital-intensive infrastructure. These included the CEO of ZeroGen (one of the earliest large-scale CCS ventures), the Deputy Chair of Gladstone Ports Corp (owner of one of Australia’s leading energy export hubs), and the Non-Executive Director of several listed engineering firms.

His research is interdisciplinary and deeply collaborative with industry, and focuses on overcoming the challenges to scale-up clean energy and fuels production, carbon capture and storage (CCS), industrial decarbonization, along with climate finance, and energy infrastructure delivery innovation. He co-led Princeton’s influential Net-Zero America study and is leading Princeton’s participation in collaborations on similar studies in Asia-Pacific countries.

Kelsey Hatzell

Associate Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment

Andlinger Center Executive Committee

Location: 224 Andlinger Center
Phone Number: 609-258-2980
Email Address: kelsey.hatzell@princeton.edu

Research Description:

Work on solid ion conductors for advanced energy storage and conversion applications. We are interested in all solid state devices for electrochemical fuel production as well as energy storage systems for electric vehicles. In addition we study low-cost thermal energy storage systems for concentrated solar power integration and production.

Warren Powell

Professor of Operations Research and Financial Engineering, emeritus

Location: 230 Sherrerd Hall
Phone Number: 609-258-5373
Email Address: powell@princeton.edu

Research Description:

Models for the design and control of a broad range of problems in energy systems, emphasizing problems that involve decisions and uncertainty. A major focus has been the study of high penetrations of renewables, and the design and control of energy storage systems. We are also working on models for driverless fleets of electric vehicles, uncertainty models of wind, solar and electricity prices, and the economics of energy portfolios.
