Biography
Dr. Rami Saeed is a technical lead and work-package manager in the Integrated Energy Systems (IES) program at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL), specializing in developing renewable energy systems of the future to couple nuclear & non-nuclear systems to showcase the mass movement of clean energy in interconnected hybrid & microgrid networks. Within the IES program, he manages the IES & Nuclear Reactor Innovation Center (NRIC) Advanced Reactor Test Platform at EBR-II Dome, Nuclear Industrial Use Requirements, as well as the Thermal Energy Storage Use Case work packages. At INL, he leads a group of researchers developing thermal and renewable energy systems of the future and creating of innovative solutions to couple different nuclear and non-nuclear integrated energy systems and showcase the mass movement of clean energy n interconnected hybrid & microgrid networks. Prior to joining INL in 2021, Dr. Saeed served for 6+ years in the industry and private sector (Director of Engineering at PCES and TES project manager at GTI) helping capital and commercial projects navigate complex technical landscapes, leading to numerous solutions, products, and 9 patented commercialized technologies in several industries including built environment, power generation, industrial waste heat recovery, life-science, and beyond.
