Professional Research Specialist
Dr. Sambuddha Chakrabarti

He joined the ZERO Lab at Andlinger Center in mid 2020, where he focuses on the development of the open-source GenX electricity system planning model and other research endeavors. He holds PhD (grad: August, 2017) & MSE (grad: August, 2010) from the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering of The University of Texas at Austin (specializing in Energy System/Power System) & has experience in research industry (academia and national lab.), academia (teaching), electrical manufacturing industry, power system generation planning, & electricity trading since July, 2006 to present.Before joining Princeton University he was a postdoctoral researcher with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) at Golden, CO. He also interned at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA), and Trailstone Energy Commodities Trading as a graduate student. He regularly serves as peer reviewer at several high impact journals, like IEEE Transactions (Power Systems, Smart Grid, Energy Market-Policy-Regulations), Elsevier Science Direct, MDPI, Nature-Energy among others. At ZERO Lab, he coordinates the development and hosting of the GenX open-source capacity expansion planning model and works on answering the research questions pertaining to next generation energy system models.
