Dr. Pingping Sun is a group leader at Argonne National Laboratory where she leads the hydrogen and electrification analysis-2 group. Her research focuses on assessing new technologies and energy systems through process modeling, techno-economic analysis (TEA), and life-cycle analysis (LCA). She assesses the economic performance and environmental impacts of a variety of technologies for energy production and materials manufacturing, including electro-fuels production, carbon capture and utilization, hydrogen production and use in industrial processes, fossil and renewable fuels, refinery analysis, iron and steel production, chemical and plastic manufacturing, and the conversion of waste into new fuels and chemicals. Prior to joining Argonne, Dr. Sun worked on refinery technology development and future transportation fuels analysis at ConocoPhillips and Phillips 66. She holds a doctorate in chemical engineering from the University of California (UC) Davis and conducted her postdoctoral training at UC Berkeley.
