During his two-year stint with the DOE, Dr. Ramesh managed all research and development activities for the agency’s Solar Program. Mr. Yeager served as President and CEO of Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), where under his leadership, EPRI evolved from a nonprofit industry think tank to a national coalition of utilities conducting leading research and development efforts for the electric power industry in the United States and 40 other countries.
Dr. Ramesh — the current Plato Malozemoff Chair Professor in Materials Science and Physics at the University of California, Berkeley — possesses vast experience leading clean energy research programs. His findings have been published extensively, and he has received numerous accolades for his groundbreaking scientific contributions. Mr. Yeager brings more than three decades of experience within the electric power industry to the Clean Coalition Board.
