Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. Siobhan Powell. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
Siobhan Powell is a Senior Researcher in the Group Sustainability Technology (SusTec) at ETH Zurich, focusing on decarbonization in electricity transportation with a specific interest in optimizing the impacts of electric vehicle (EV) charging on the grid. She joined the group in September 2022 and has been actively involved in the ETH Zurich Postdoctoral Fellowship, which is supported by the SNSF Ambizione Grant, for early-career researchers on the project 'Data-POETRY'. Siobhan's doctoral research delved into driver behavior, charging infrastructure, and smart charging dynamics while pursuing her Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University. Her work includes substantial modeling of EV charging demand and the development of the SPEECh model, which provides scalable probabilistic estimates for large-scale EV charging. Siobhan collaborates broadly, having worked with the Stanford Sustainable Systems Lab and the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, with gratifying partnerships like the California Energy Commission. Originally from Toronto, Canada, Siobhan holds a B.Sc.(Eng) in Mathematics & Engineering from 2016. Her hobbies include reading, singing, dancing, and cooking with family and friends.
The GRE is mandatory for students who did not obtain their Bachelor's degree in an EU/EFTA state. Some departments (e.g., Computer Science) have specific ECTS credit requirements in core subjects.
