Anne-Per­rine is a PhD stu­dent in the Ener­gy and Resources Group and a research fel­low with­in the ener­gy com­pa­ny Are­va. In the Renew­able and Appro­pri­ate Ener­gy Lab­o­ra­to­ry, her research focus­es on long-term capac­i­ty expan­sion plan­ning for the ener­gy mix in Chi­na, and quan­ti­ta­tive meth­ods to adjust least-cost ener­gy tran­si­tion path­ways by tak­ing uncer­tain­ty on cost pro­jec­tions into account. She is par­tic­u­lar­ly inter­est­ed in the chal­lenges posed by high pen­e­tra­tion lev­els of vari­able renew­able ener­gies in cen­tral­ized pow­er grids, and in the devel­op­ment of advanced nuclear tech­nolo­gies and elec­tric vehi­cles in Asia. She is also inter­est­ed in inter­na­tion­al col­lab­o­ra­tions around ener­gy poli­cies and ener­gy inno­va­tion between the Unit­ed States and Europe, and has co-orga­nized a debate, on behalf of the French Min­istry of Ener­gy and the Con­sulate Gen­er­al of France in San Fran­cis­co, about the vision of Bay-Area expa­tri­ates on the French ener­gy transition.

Anne-Per­rine holds an MSc in indus­tri­al and nuclear engi­neer­ing from France, and has worked on nuclear safe­ty and non-pro­lif­er­a­tion top­ics in France, Chi­na and the US before start­ing her PhD at Uni­ver­si­ty of Cal­i­for­nia, Berkeley.
