David Rosewater is a senior member of the technical staff at the Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque New Mexico. In his current position, David performs national interest research on molding, control, and safety of battery energy storage in power systems. He manages the energy storage test pad, a MW scale power test facility designed for experimentation on and analysis of large battery systems. Prior to this, David interned for the Idaho National Laboratory researching methods for rapid electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, work that won an R&D100 award in 2011. He holds Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in electrical engineering from Montana Tech of the University of Montana and is currently pursuing a PhD in electrical engineering at the University of Texas at Austin. David’s dissertation research focuses on modeling uncertainty in batteries to design better risk averse system controllers.

Hunter received his B.S. degree in ChE in December '97 from UT Austin. From there, he worked in the semiconductor industry for nearly 10 years before he returned to UT. He received his M.S. degree in EE's power systems track in December '11 studying horizontal dc series faults up at UT's Center for Electromechanics (CEM) with Dr. Robert Hebner & Dr. Alexis Kwasinski.

Hunter is currently working in Dr. Surya Santoso's research group, studying high resolution electrical data provided to him through an NSF IGERT Fellowship alliance with Pecan Street, Inc. His focus is analyzing residential loads and distributed generation through harmonic analysis of their voltage and current waveforms. Study and characterization of their usage behavior characteristics should provide invaluable knowledge into how people use electricity and energy in their households.
