Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHaitam Laarabi is an Energy and Environmental Policy Project Scientist at Berkeley Lab who blends computer science rigor with transportation energy expertise to build and lead large-scale, open-source agent-based modeling systems. As lead architect and co-lead of BEAM CORE, he designs optimization algorithms and co-simulations that connect regional mobility, power grid, emissions, and health-impact models for policy-relevant scenario analysis. He directs multi-institutional DOE- and HEI-funded projects and collaborates with MPOs and industry partners (including Cruise) to evaluate EV charging, robotaxi fleets, and shared autonomous mobility at city and regional scales. His work uniquely quantifies societal energy impacts of AI-enabled services and couples charging/behind-the-meter storage models to transportation simulations, enabling novel assessments of computing and fleet electrification trade-offs. Trained with a PhD from Mines Paris/University of Genoa, he pairs deep research experience with practical software engineering and a history of EU smart-mobility contributions. Outside of research he pursues endurance sports and is fluent in five languages, reflecting a global, hands-on approach to complex systems.
