Jean Sack is a Technical Staff member in the Energy Systems Group at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. Ms. Sack is the lead for installation energy resilience projects, and has worked on a variety of alternative energy, energy resiliency, and microgrid solutions for military and disaster response applications. Ms. Sack has working closely with over 30 installations across the Air Force, Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard to oversee, lead, plan, and observe Black Start Exercises, Energy Resilience Readiness Exercises, and Energy Resilience Tabletop Exercises. This work includes a signicant planning and mitigation process culminating in real-world exercises, to provide independent justication for resilience projects, process improvements, and policy change by highlighting mission and infrastructure interdependencies. Ms. Sack has also led a training program for external contractors to plan and conduct these exercises across the DoD. Ms. Sack graduated from MIT with dual bachelor’s degrees in mechanical engineering and music, as well as a master’s degree in mechanical engineering. She has written and co-authored reports, articles, and papers on energy resilience, energy for disaster relief, aluminum-water power systems, and superhydrophobic surfaces, and served as an instructor for a senior design capstone at MIT from 2019-2021.
