Kyle Bradbury is the Director of the Energy Data Analytics Lab at the Nicholas Institute for Energy, Environment & Sustainability, where he leads applied research projects at the intersection of machine learning techniques and energy problems. Kyle is also a Lecturing Fellow with the Duke University Electrical and Computer Engineering Department.
His research includes developing techniques for automatically mapping global energy infrastructure and access from satellite imagery; transforming smart electric utility meter data into energy efficiency insights; and exploring the reliability and cost trade-offs of energy storage systems for integrating wind and solar power into the grid. He received both a Ph.D. in energy systems modeling and an M.S. in electrical and computer engineering from Duke University, as well as a B.S. in electrical engineering from Tufts University. He has worked for ISO New England, MIT Lincoln Laboratories, and Dominion.

Mapping Solar Arrays With Aerial Imagery
Policymakers need accurate data in order to make strategic investments decisions for grids, microgrids, and off-grid solar home systems, but those data are often missing.Two critical inputs for planning—who has access to electricity, and the...
