Elisabetta Perotti

Department of Electrical • Computer • and Energy Engineering
Elisabetta is a recipient of the Schmidt Science Fellowship. She plans to use her Fellowship to pivot from physics to renewable energy. During her PhD, she studied hadron physics at Uppsala University. She now plans to model and simulate an autonomous future electric grid, able to cope with the variability of renewable generation and changing consumer demand. Elisabetta's research will contribute to the development of a next-generation electric grid and...
