Climate Science Career Talk

This is an informal career talk hosted by graduate students, to get to know Dr. Alexandra “Sascha” von Meier. Dr. von Meier is an independent consultant, recently retired from her faculty position in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of California, Berkeley; her directorship of the Electric Grid Research group the California Institute for Energy and Environment (CIEE); and her position as Faculty Scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Sascha’s work has been driven by the vision of a nimble and resilient electricity infrastructure that recruits intermittent renewable resources, energy storage and electric demand response to support a carbon-neutral energy sector. Among other research efforts, she has led the development of high-precision micro-synchrophasors and strategies for using phasor measurements for innovative diagnostic and control applications in distribution systems. She looks forward to completing the expanded second edition of her textbook, Electric Power Systems: A Conceptual Introduction, and spending more time in the High Sierra Nevada. Sascha holds a B.A. in Physics and an M.A. and Ph.D. in Energy and Resources from UC Berkeley.
