Hi there! I am Giriraj Sharma - Giri to college/university mates and Raj to colleagues.
After my schooling from Miss Hill and RamaKrishna Vidya Mandir (RKVM) in Gwalior, I earned a Bachelors degree from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay) under the guidance of Dr. Rangan Banerjee focusing on electric power plant portfolio optimization, and then a Masters degree from the Texas A & M University (TAMU), College Station, Texas under the guidance of Dr. Jerald A. Caton focusing on combustion emissions and energy systems.
I worked for Dr. Peter M. Boerger at the Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor (OUCC) for about two and half years primarily on integrated resource planning (IRP) in Indianapolis, Indiana, then for Kristi J. Hobbs for about one and half years primarily on market rules, protocols and guides at the Electric Reliability Council Of Texas (ERCOT) in Austin, Texas, and then for the Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) as an electric transmission tariff expert in Calgary, Alberta, CANADA for over 12 years. I am now working for FortisAlberta - a electricity distribution company for the southern half of Alberta.
Calgary is now home for the near to medium term :) Please ping me if you are anywhere near Calgary and we can meet up.
