Braden Pecora’s current work is focused on applying data science and optimization techniques to energy grid applications. With WEG, Braden works with Dr. Joshua Rhodes and Dr. Emily Beagle on the development of the HOwDI (Hydrogen Optimization with Distribution Infrastructure) model - a network distribution optimization model that aims to identify cost-effective pathways for hydrogen infrastructure. He also works on data compilation and analysis for capacity expansion models, and occasionally provides technical support to the group.
