Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBenjamin D'orfeuil is a Data Scientist with a decade of experience translating complex physical and energy systems into robust, production-ready software and analyses. He has a strong physics PhD background and a history of building scientific pipelines—from cosmology likelihoods and Monte Carlo simulations at ESA and academic labs to open-source power-grid modeling tools at Breakthrough Energy. At Breakthrough he was a principal contributor and GitHub administrator for PreREISE, PowerSimData, and PostREISE, and more recently applies those skills to energy analytics at Singularity Energy in Seattle. Known for rigorous statistical methods, scalable code (C++ and Python), and clear visualizations, he bridges academic rigor with practical engineering to inform policy-grade energy scenarios. An understated strength is his ability to port advanced research methods into user-friendly, documented toolkits that other researchers and operators can adopt.
