About this Event

Join us for the next Jared L. Cohon Student Seminar, featuring David Florez Rodriguez, a Ph.D. student at Carnegie Mellon University researching sustainable energy systems and power grid optimization.

David will present his research, “We want more (and better) transmission for reliable electricity,” exploring how buried high-voltage direct current (HVDC) lines may offer a promising solution for expanding grid capacity and improving reliability as renewable energy demand grows.
