Research Themes +
Energy Technologies Area (ETA) researchers are continually building on the strong scientific foundation we have developed over the past 50 years. We address the world’s most pressing climate challenges by bringing to market energy-efficient innovations across the buildings, transportation, and industrial sectors. ETA is at the forefront of developing better batteries for electric vehicles; improving the country's aging electrical grid and innovating distributed energy and storage solutions; developing grid-interactive, efficient buildings; and providing the most comprehensive market and data analysis worldwide for renewable technologies like wind and solar.
Strategic Initiatives +
The Energy Technologies Area (ETA) Strategic Plan is the guiding force for our research and development for the next ten years. It clearly charts a path toward clean-energy solutions and focuses on five detailed Strategic Initiatives. The Plan provides an in-depth look at how ETA is accelerating research to provide affordable, clean energy to all while accomplishing deep, economy-wide decarbonization, looking to avoid a rise in global average temperature while simultaneously developing solutions to increase humanity's resilience to extreme weather volatility.

Bio

Jeetika Malik is a postdoctoral researcher with the Building Technology and Urban Systems Division of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Her research efforts are directed towards energy-related occupant behavior representation in building energy modeling, evaluating building decarbonization strategies for effective policymaking, and exploring human factors in building decarbonization. Malik has a background in architecture and building engineering and received her Ph.D. from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Bombay, where her research focused on understanding occupants’ energy and comfort-related behavior within low-income housing in Mumbai, India to develop a localized comfort model for building design considerations.

Education
