Nomadic Narrative
Exploring energy, equity, and place through research and storytelling.
Hi, I’m Ogechi Vivian Nwadiaru. I am a PhD candidate in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research at UMass Amherst. I design energy systems with human dimensions at their core — blending rigorous modelling with storytelling rooted in lived experience.
What I am currently working on…
Holyoke CBPR Project
Partnering with frontline communities to co-design metrics that reflect lived experience and influence equitable grid planning in Holyoke, MA.
Collaborative Storage Modelling
Exploring shared energy storage scenarios across diverse households to reduce costs and improve equity outcomes through optimized resource sharing.
Understanding Resilience
Investigating equity impacts of energy storage placement during extreme weather events using Texas grid data and outage simulations.
