Laurentiu received his BSc in Honors Mathematical Physics from the University of Waterloo, an MSc in Sustainable Energy Engineering from Reykjavik University (RU), and an SM in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from MIT. He served as a Project Manager for the Iceland School of Energy, a Lecturer in Electrical Engineering within the Department of Engineering, as well as the Administrative Director for the Sustainability Institute and Forum, all at RU. Laurentiu has supported energy authorities, utilities, and asset owners in making rigorous, actionable decisions—especially where decarbonization, electrification, infrastructure planning, and data modeling intersect. His research advances grid decarbonization, renewable integration and transport electrification. He was a Co-President for the MIT Energy & Climate Club and a MIT Martin Fellow for Sustainability. Outside of work, Laurentiu enjoys reading, fitness, and nutrition. He can sometimes be spotted at meetings awkwardly taking out his food scale to track his intake.
