Bruce Bailey, Ph.d.

Background:

Dr. Bruce Bailey began his career in the renewable energy field while working as a research associate at UAlbany’s Atmospheric Sciences Research Center. He then founded and led AWS Truepower, a meteorological and engineering consulting firm serving the renewables industry for over 30 years before the firm was acquired by UL. At UL, Bruce became the VP of Renewables. He has since retired from UL and remains active in the field, maintaining valuable interactions with UAlbany and industry.

 Dr. Bailey has also established an Endowed Fellowship at UAlbany that provides perpetual support for a doctoral fellow. The Followship encourages interdisciplinary research aimed at enabling effective deployment of renewable energy on the electric grid using innovative insights from the atmospheric sciences and other fields. Research will focus on topics such as: advanced resource assessment in a changing climate; large-scale integration of renewable energy on the grid; economic assessment of renewable energy deployments; renewable energy public policy and education; and energy infrastructure resiliency maximization.
