Boundaries & Breakthroughs Panel Series | The Future of the Grid

Join the Institute for Matter and Systems for the second event in its new interdisciplinary panel series, featuring candid, cross-cutting conversations on The Future of the Grid. This series gathers researchers from across disciplines to challenge assumptions, explore barriers, and imagine what it will take to turn promising prototypes into trusted, scalable solutions. Expect lively discussion that moves beyond the boundaries of any one field to uncover new questions, unexpected insights, and opportunities for collaboration.

 

Join us for the third session of the Boundaries & Breakthroughs panel series, where Georgia Tech researchers from across disciplines come together for candid, cross-cutting conversations on The Future of the Grid.

We will focus on questions like:

  • What prevents promising grid innovations from moving beyond demonstration projects to become scalable, reliable, and economically viable components of the national energy infrastructure?
  • How can breakthroughs in generation, storage, and control systems be integrated into real-world grid operations without compromising reliability or resilience?

and more!

Meet the Panelists:

Constance Crozier | Assistant Professor, School of Industrial Systems Engineering
Santiago Grijalva | Professor, School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Georgia Power Distinguished Professor

Joe Bozeman | Assistant Professor, School of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Juan-Pablo Correa-Baena (moderator) | Associate Professor and Goizueta Early Career Faculty Chair
