New Texas A&M Energy Price Index (EPIC) Tool Launched
The Texas A&M Energy Institute has developed a novel optimization and machine learning-based framework that introduces a benchmark of the average price of energy in the United States as a comprehensive, reliable, and easily interpretable instrument for policymakers to determine the quantitative effects of various energy related policies.
Three members of Pistikopoulos’ research group accept faculty positions
Three members of Dr. Stratos Pistikopoulos’ research group — Yuhe Tian, Burcu Beykal, and Styliani Avraamidou — have recently accepted faculty positions at major universities. According to Pistikopoulos, director of the Texas A&M Energy Institute and Dow Chemical Chair in the Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering, the fact that three members of his group have taken faculty positions at nearly the same time is quite significant.
Careers in Clean Energy Innovation Panel to Feature Avraamidou

Energy Institute Researchers Develop Energy Price Index to Calculate the Average Price of Energy
In a recent study published in the journal Nature Communications, researchers at the Texas A&M Energy Institute have devised a metric that reflects the average price of energy in the United States. Much like how the Dow index indicates trends in stock market prices, the researchers’ metric reflects the changes in energy prices resulting from the type of energy sources available and their supply chains.
