Climind x Breakthough Energy: Tackling Climate Challenges through Energy Systems Modeling
"Talks at Climind" is a thoughts-leadership podcast launched by Climind, and co-organized with leading universities, research institutions, and industry partners. Climate is a data integration issue. Our goal is to present exciting big ideas about climate data solutions, particularly in areas such as energy transition, adaptation and mitigation, carbon markets, and nature-based solutions.
Speaker - Dr.Yixing Xu, Research Director @ Breakthrough Energy We'll hear from Dr.Yixing Xu, the Research Director of Breakthrough Energy, in our inaugural episode. As the Chief Scientist and system architect of the energy system modeling project, Yixing leads a team of research scientists, data scientists, and software engineers to explore potential pathways to net zero and build open-source software. His goal is to support industry experts, policymakers, investors, and academic researchers in the clean energy transition. Yixing finished his Ph.D. and postdoc at Texas A&M University, his bachelor’s degree at Tsinghua University, all focusing on clean energy.
