BIO
Eson is passionate about environmental stewardship. After completing a double degree in Engineering and Business, he joined a tech company at the forefront of the renewable energy transition, integrating UAVs for powerline stringing and developing sensors for dynamic line rating.
In 2023, inspired by the possibilities of a hydrogen economy, he began a PhD in hydrogen storage solutions. However, the concept of power-to-X is infeasible on many fronts. Seeing that the most sensible way for decarbonisation is electrification, he has refocused his research into optimising hybrid generation and storage systems. Specifically, applying deterministic/ heuristic algorithms to help us make more informed decisions.
