GTO Office Contacts Classroom Energy Sixth graders at Old Mill Middle School in Millersville, Maryland had a Halloween visit from GTO staff Sharon Cosgrove and EERE’s Einstein Fellow Josh Sneideman. The interactive day included makeshift laboratories like the one at right, where students compared emissions from a candle—invisible until they held a mirror close to the flame and watched carbon blacken its surface. The same mirror grew steamy but clear when held up to the water vapor piping out of a tea kettle. Young scientists talked over their energy options: burning hydrocarbons to generate steam or letting the Earth heat the water naturally with geothermal energy. One day one of these bright minds may bring the next breakthrough in clean energy. Photo courtesy of Old Mill Middle School North. Douglas Hollett, Office Director Douglas.Hollett@ee.doe.gov Doug directs the Geothermal Technologies Office in the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) at DOE. He is responsible for both technical and project oversight and new technologies designed to advance geothermal’s role in the U.S. energy portfolio. Doug brings more than 29 years of experience in the oil and gas industry with Marathon Oil. While at Marathon, he most recently served as the Manager and Director for Unconventional New Ventures, where he was responsible for capturing and initiating new global opportunities in shale gas and tight oil reservoirs using new geologic concepts, and through the use of new drilling and completion technologies. Eric Hass, Hydrothermal Program Manager Eric.Hass@go.doe.gov Eric supervises the hydrothermal portfolio for the Office, including innovative exploration technologies and low-temperature and coproduced resources. Prior to this, Eric managed the EGS program for two years and has worked with DOE EERE since 1993 and GTO since 2004. Eric brings over 30 years of experience in oil and gas, mineral exploration, and renewable energy project/program management to the team. Lauren Boyd, EGS Program Manager Lauren.Boyd@ee.doe.gov Lauren manages the EGS portfolio for the Geothermal Technologies Office, including both R&D and demonstration projects. Lauren has an undergraduate degree in Geology from Vassar College and a Master’s degree in Geology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Jay Nathwani, Chief Engineer Jay.Nathwani@ee.doe.gov Jay’s diverse portfolio includes international issues, levelized cost of electricity analysis, and policy analysis. Jay has been with the DOE since 1991, starting at the Idaho Operations Office and moving to the Golden Field Office before coming to Headquarters in D.C. Jay has a MS in Mechanical Engineering from California State University at Fullerton and a BS in Mechanical Engineering. Margaret Schaus, Operations and Systems Analysis Supervisor Margaret.Schaus@ee.doe.gov Margaret joins the Office from the Business Operations side of EERE, overseeing GTO’s day-to-day business functions, including strategic planning, budget execution, contracts, communications, and staffing. She also manages the systems analysis portfolio, which addresses environmental, policy, economic analysis and data tools. Margaret has an undergraduate degree in Science, Technology and Society and a graduate degree in Management Science and Engineering, both from Stanford University. Timothy Reinhardt, Low-Temperature & Coproduced Technology Manager Timothy.Reinhardt@ee.doe.gov Tim is a physical scientist and the technology manager for low-temperature and coproduced resources, providing oversight and direction for technologies and projects in this sector. He received his bachelor’s degree in Environmental Sciences from Northwestern University and and holds Master’s degrees from the University of Oklahoma and the University of Texas /Austin.

Q&A with Margaret Schaus, Operations Supervisor Q. So...what is an Operations Supervisor? A. The Operations Supervisor role is a new one in EERE, and was created to help relieve the day-to- day operational demands placed on directors and staff in our technology offices. In short, my role is to manage the everyday activities that help our office run—things like budget, contracts management, legislative affairs, communications, staffing, and hR—so that Doug and the team can direct more of their time and attention to advancing our R&D mission. The other GTO hat I wear is as program manager for our Systems Analysis portfolio. Q. How do you like the role so far? A. It’s never a dull moment, that’s for sure! I do enjoy the challenge of trying to improve and streamline processes—probably because I was a performance auditor in my pre-DOE life. My role allows me to interact with folks in offices across EERE, and I really enjoy collaborating with others and figuring out how we can best work together. I also have a great group of colleagues in GTO, who are a terrific help in making my job easier. Q. What was your biggest highlight or challenge in 2013? A. This year, a number of EERE-wide business transformation initiatives were launched. Among other things, the end goal is to have more a consistent way of doing business across our offices, such as how we do lab AOps and funding Opportunity Announcements (fOAs). It took a lot of collective staff energy to help move all these changes forward, so there were some challenges there. But I’m hopeful this will be a highlight once it’s all completed. Then there was the end of year lapse in appropriations (and I will leave it at that!) Q. What are you looking forward to in 2014? A. Issuing some GTO fOAs! We will also be updating our multi-Year Office plan—essentially GTO’s strategic plan—which will help to lay out our Office’s goals and objectives for the next 5 years. I look forward to that being a great resource to share with our stakeholders. GEOThERmAl TEChNOlOGIES OffICE 26 27 2013 ANNuAl REpORTPDF Image | Geothermal Technologies Office Annual Report
