Dr. Dre Helmns

Dre Helmns is an assistant professor at Harvey Mudd College and visiting faculty at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory who works at the intersection of energy science and technology. Their research group at Harvey Mudd College is working to develop decarbonized space conditioning and water heating systems that incorporate heat pumps, thermal energy storage, evaporative cooling and waste heat recovery components. The group uses physics-based modeling of thermal equipment, validated by laboratory experiments and field demonstrations,to enable innovative design and optimal operation of integrated energy systems for buildings and districts.
