Living, writing, learning
I’m Jessa, an energy researcher and academic. This blog is where I think out loud, a space for honest, unguarded writing. That’s not changing—and you’ll be hearing more about where my research is taking me next.
Background
I received my Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (2016) from the University of Southeastern Philippines (Obrero, Davao City) and my Master’s degree in Energy Engineering (2019) from the University of the Philippines (Diliman, Quezon City).
My research interests are sustainable energy transitions, energy geography, and social science.
I am currently doing my research on agrivoltaics.
Work experience
A decade of energy research has taken me from microgrids to solar output forecasting to mapping agrivoltaic potential across Philippine croplands to sitting in strangers’ houses in Palawan, asking communities what reliable power actually means to them. The thread running through all of it: how do we make sustainable energy work in places where it matters most?
