Post-doctoral Researcher
Graduate School of Energy Science, Kyoto University
Data analyst and modeler interested in energy systems, scheduling, and automation
As of 2023, I am working as a Post-doctoral Researcher at the Graduate School of Energy Science, where my research primarily focuses on energy modeling and scenario analysis for the sustainable energy transition of Japan and Southeast Asia. In particular, I am exploring the use of power-to-gas as a bridging solution to meet the mid-term energy demands of the transition to sustainable energy. This work investigates how power-to-gas technologies can be integrated with existing energy systems and identifies such integration’s potential benefits and challenges. Furthermore, my research interest extends to the transition away from coal in both the Philippines and Japan. Concurrently, I am engaged in several funded projects that focus on research related to the Philippines and Southeast Asia.
I got my doctoral degree in March 2022 from the Graduate School of Energy Science at Kyoto University. I focused on the implications of high PV penetration on the energy balance in Kyushu, Japan. My background in Electronics Engineering greatly influences my approach to energy modeling, as I leverage my skills to set up physical and virtual servers for modeling environments and technical knowledge about electrical equipment. Additionally, I have experience working with embedded systems and single-board computers for remote monitoring. I am also involved in collaborative projects related to community renewable energy systems. These projects require various interdisciplinary skills, including foundational knowledge related to social science, economics, policy planning, and environmental awareness.
Overall, my research vision is centered around advancing the understanding of the technical consideration of integrating renewable energy into the existing energy systems while also considering the economic, social, environmental, and political aspects of sustainable energy solutions. Through my work, I hope to contribute to the global effort to transition towards sustainable energy, focusing on maintaining the quality of life in developed nations and improving the quality of life in developing nations.
