Dr. Xu attended the NSF Workshop on Cyber-Enabled Carbon-Neutral Electricity and Mobility held at Texas A&M University. He gave a lightning talk and made a poster presentation for his collaborative research on An Empirical Analysis of Electric Vehicles’ Charging Patterns [URL].
A critical path towards carbon-neutrality relies on decarbonizing electric power generation and electrifying of a large portion of the transportation sector. This shift requires combined efforts from various disciplines as it will fundamentally change the way energy is utilized in the country. For the research community, there are unique characteristics associated with transportation and electric power sectors, respectively. The goal of this workshop is to establish the critical cyber infrastructure for research and education towards carbon-neutral electricity and mobility with the focus on the four major challenges.
