Brief Bio
Dr. Malaquías Peña is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Connecticut (UConn). He holds a Ph.D. in Meteorology from the University of Maryland. His research interests focus on several areas including environmental system modeling, monitoring networks, weather forecasting for grid resilience and energy security. He's involved in projects related to offshore wind energy optimization and nowcasting. His work also includes predictability and ensemble modeling, numerical prediction systems, data assimilation, and observing networks.
He's associated with the Eversource Energy Center, and also serves as the Director of the Grid Modernization Certificate Program at UConn.
