Author Information
Oliver Probst is a professor of physics and renewable energy at Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, Mexico, where he has been training renewable energy professionals and entrepreneurs for over 20 years. As a wind energy consultant, he has contributed to the development of nearly 2,000 MW of operating wind farms in Mexico and the United States. His research focuses on grid integration of renewable energy, wind resource assessment and wind turbine technology. Oliver holds a Dr. rer. nat. in Physics from the University of Heidelberg, Germany. Sergio Castellanos is an incoming assistant professor in the Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering department at The University of Texas at Austin. He previously held a professional researcher position at the University of California, Berkeley, where he was part of the California Institute for Energy and Environment (CIEE), Energy and Resources Group (ERG), and Berkeley's Social Science Data Lab (D-Lab). His current research focuses on energy systems planning, sustainable transportation, and cleantech manufacturing - all with a strong emphasis on equity. Sergio holds a PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Mechanical Engineering. Rodrigo Palacios is an energy systems modelling expert currently with Iniciativa Climática de México, where he works on the design of pathways for a decarbonized power sector in Mexico based on quantitative modelling and outreach to government and private industry. Rodrigo holds a PhD in Engineering with a focus on optimization from Universidad de Burgos, Spain, and MSc degrees in labour safety and renewable energy from Universidad Camilo José Cela and CEU San Pablo, Spain, respectively.
