ALLY Energy Professional Profile: Kimberley Duarte
Kimberley Duarte
New Energy Engineer
Cambridge, MA, US
Professional Summary
If there’s anything that the current state of the world has taught me, it’s that the development of efficient long-duration energy storage systems is needed more than ever. Since recently graduating with a master's in New Energy Engineering with a focus on fuel cell optimization and development, my determination to work in energy storage system development has only burned brighter. There are great challenges and wonderful promise within long-duration energy storage and I am very excited to grow alongside a team that has the same curiosity and drive to push the limits on current energy storage systems and strive to the creation of new ones. Disciplined problem-solver with a curious and inquisitive mind always excited to learn and grow with a passion for electronic materials, renewable energy engineering, and energy storage systems. I am a collaborative and focused engineer looking to work alongside a team to develop positive and innovative products and designs for the future.
