 | Timothy I. Salsbury Timothy Salsbury leads the E-COMP Initiative and is a controls scientist in PNNL's Optimization and Control Group. He heads the Control Design Team and manages several projects across the Departments of Energy (DOE) and Department of War (DoW). These projects include control performance monitoring, real-time optimization, and data-driven modeling and control. He holds over 50 patents and has an extensive publication record in areas like applied controls and real-time optimization, with application to power and energy systems. |
 | Veronica Adetola Veronica Adetola serves as the chief scientist for the E-COMP Initiative. A controls scientist in PNNL’s Optimization and Control Group, she leads the Resilience Control Methods Team and oversees projects for DOE focused on model-based and data-driven controls, optimization and control co-design for grid-interactive energy efficient buildings, microgrids, and cyber-physical power and energy systems. |
 | Marcelo Elizondo Marcelo Elizondo heads the Theory and Modeling Thrust within E-COMP. As a Chief Power Systems Engineer in PNNL’s Electricity Infrastructure and Buildings Division, his work spans electric systems planning and resilience, particularly focused on electromagnetic and electromechanical dynamics in distribution systems and microgrids. He leads projects for DOE and the Department of State. |
 | Thiagarajan Ramachandran Thiagarajan Ramachandran has been with PNNL since August 2016. His work covers DOE projects in adaptive control, optimization of building power consumption, distribution system state estimation, and electricity market design. |
 | Alexandre Nassif Alexandre Nassif is an electrical engineer in PNNL's Bulk Energy Systems 2 Group and leads Thrust 3 in the E-COMP Initiative. He joined the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in June 2024 where he leads or supports electric grid reliability and resilience efforts in CONUS jurisdictions as well as other regions such as Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and central America. He also supports nationwide DOE efforts related to grid modernization and transmission planning. Prior to joining PNNL, he built a career working for three major utilities in North America and supporting system expansion. He holds a PhD degree from the University of Alberta, Canada, is a Senior Member of IEEE, and holds editorial positions in the IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery and in the IEEE Transactions on Power Systems. |
