C. Lindsay Anderson
Associate Profesor
Environmental Engineering
Biography
Lindsay Anderson is an Associate Professor in Biological and Environmental Engineering and the Norman R. Scott Sesquicentennial Faculty Fellow, as well as the Kathy Dwyer Marble and Curt Marble Faculty Director for Energy with the Atkinson Center for a Sustainable Future. Professor Anderson’s overarching goal is to accelerate the transition to a low carbon energy future. She is particularly interested in the effective integration of wind and solar resources, through the leveraging of distributed and demand side resources. Anderson’ s approach to this problem is through improvement of operational strategies to include supply and demand side resources in frameworks for optimization under uncertainty.
Research Interests
Professor Anderson’s research interests focus on the application of systems modeling and optimization to energy and the environment. Current projects include mitigation of wind generation uncertainty through the use of other renewable energy sources, the cost of wind energy uncertainty on existing power systems, and the implications of process uncertainties in biofuels production outcomes.
Teaching Interests
Professor Anderson teaches students computer modeling of realistic problems in biological and environmental engineering. Her teaching approach is hands-on and interactive, using case-based model development. Her current courses are BEE 1510 Introduction to Computer Programming and BEE 4880 Applied Modeling and Simulation for Renewable Energy Systems.
