Rami Ariss
Rami works to bridge the complexities that arise by the interdependency of sustainable energy and transportation electrification. In his doctorate, Rami explores co-optimal fleet design and route planning for electric delivery vehicles providing vehicle-to-grid services, electric vehicle policies operating across energy and transportation markets, and controls for multi-agent electric bus fleets for equitable ridepooling.
Rami’s career as a product manager bridged deep domain-knowledge in the economic value of behind-the-meter (BtM) DERs and front-of-the-meter (FtM) energy assets with design thinking best practices and an eye for user experience design. He successfully launched an Energy Trading product for the Australian Energy market, and led a data-driven Energy Management SaaS product from ideation to launch.
In his leisure, you will find Rami paddling out for a surf session, producing music, recharging with a home cooked Lebanese meal, and hanging out at the local darkroom developing and printing analog film.
