Ramón Emilio De Jesús-Grullón is a researcher specializing in energy resilience and microgrids at the Pontificia Universidad Católica Madre y Maestra (PUCMM), Dominican Republic. He completed his B.S. in Electromechanical Engineering in 2015 and later specialized in Renewable Energies and Energy Markets at the School of Industrial Organization (EOI), Madrid, in 2017. Ramón's professional background spans eight years in the energy and water sectors. He began in the Design and Construction of Distribution Networks before moving to Renewable Energy and Electricity Markets, conducting research on Demand Response and Energy Hedging Markets for wind and solar markets in Europe. Subsequently, he worked on Water Leakage Detection in Water Distribution as CTO of Stor Water. His active research focuses on Energy Resilience and Microgrids under the Partnerships for Enhanced Engagement in Research (PEER) program of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) and the National Fund for Innovation and Scientific and Technological Development (FONDOCYT) of the Dominican Republic. Currently, his current research focus is on modeling and simulation of distribution networks with high renewable penetration using open-source software (QGIS and OpenDSS) and Power Hardware-in-the-Loop (PHIL) technology for the evaluation of control techniques related to microgrid architecture.
