Based in Ottawa, Canada, Dr. Owen Kelly joined E3’s Integrated Systems Planning practice in 2024 with specific expertise in data analytics and machine learning. He brings a breadth of experience in numerical and statistical modeling across several industries, including energy, insurance, biomedical, and telecom. Owen’s contributions span energy analytics, portfolio risk, instrumentation, sensor data fusion, and physics simulations. Owen is passionate about using computation and analysis to leverage data and is excited to be in a practice that facilitates data-driven decisions in the green energy transition.

Prior to E3, Owen has built and deployed real-time electricity demand and generation forecasts for utilities in Maharashtra, Ontario, and Alberta; led colleagues in designing a microgrid control policy for a Scottish wind farm; in mortgage insurance, he has established compute infrastructure for rare event simulations, modeled unemployment dynamics with machine learning, and established new model governance practices and trained model developers on related tooling; in biomedical engineering, he wrote the signal processing for a respiratory wellness sensor. Owen holds a patent on using coresets to accelerate dispatch optimizations.

In his free time, Owen enjoys cycling and cross-country skiing, and the arts and culture offerings of Canada’s capital.

Education: PhD and MS, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Rice University; BASc, Systems Design Engineering, University of Waterloo
