Weijie Pan is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Irving Institute for Energy and Society at Dartmouth College, working under the direction of Professor Geoffrey Parker. His research focuses on integrated energy systems, with an emphasis on the application of modeling, simulation, and optimization techniques to examine the interactions among electrification, energy policy and market dynamics, and human behavior in complex energy infrastructures.
He holds a Ph.D. in Systems Engineering, along with M.S. and B.Eng. degrees in Electrical Engineering. His doctoral work explored the technical and socio-economic aspects of low-carbon energy transitions, particularly within multi-vector energy systems.
At Dartmouth, Dr. Pan is advancing interdisciplinary, data-driven approaches aimed at reducing the carbon intensity of industrial systems. His current work involves the integration of clean energy technologies, the electrification of transportation, and the development of adaptive, human-involved system operations.
In addition to his academic research, Dr. Pan has three years of professional experience in academic coordination at a transnational education institute in China, where he collaborated with students and faculty from diverse cultural and educational backgrounds. His interests beyond academia include A24 films, thriller and horror literature, watching plays and performances, visiting theme parks, small-town travel, swimming, and gaming.
