Biography

Jacob Ellis is from Richland, Washington, and joined PNNL in November 2018 as an intern after completing his B.S. in Electrical Engineering at Washington State University. Prior to that he had 2 appointed internships at PNNL as an undergraduate student in electrochemistry research and embedded circuit design/implementation. His current research focuses on reducing energy consumption and improving resilience in new and existing buildings through the application of the re-tuning methodology and Power Engineering. This requires whole building interval meter and building automation system (BAS) data processing and analysis to identify and recommend no and low-cost improvement opportunities in buildings. Mr. Ellis is also involved in power engineering, bio-chemistry research, additive manufacturing and embedded circuit design.
