Data-driven solutions for grid reliability and sustainable energy adaptation: Climate change and extreme weather events increasingly threaten electrical grid reliability, causing more frequent power outages that pose serious risks to vulnerable populations and critical infrastructure. At Stanford Sustainable Systems Lab, Tao works with utility partners and community aggregators to develop ReliAdapt—an AI-powered platform that provides high-resolution, forward-looking power outage risk assessments while evaluating distributed energy resource solutions for end-user adaptation.
Tao Sun joins Stanford as a postdoctoral fellow from 2025-2026.
