Abstract:
While much of the discussion surrounding the ongoing energy transition focuses on the destination, energy companies have a responsibility to examine every step of the journey. The decisions industry leaders, regulators, policymakers, and other stakeholders make today will impact companies’ ability to provide reliable, resilient, and affordable energy to customers
amid growing societal dependence on electricity. Generation leaders around the world are grappling with how to best operate, maintain, and expand a set of existing resources. Forward-looking companies are purpose-building their fleets to support a future energy system, while managing risks associated with deploying emerging technologies and supporting infrastructure. With substantial uncertainty surrounding the timing and scope of contributions from different resource types, optionality is at the center of a reliable and affordable transition.
This presentation will discuss the energy transition, review energy resource needs, and offer several practical realities associated with the future energy system.
Bio: Stan Rosinski is a Technical Executive at the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI). He brings nearly 40 years of experience in power generation research to identify risks and mitigation strategies and provide site-level and fleet-level analyses and insights on pathways to support the energy transition to a decarbonized future. Rosinski also supports activities focused on improving reliability and addressing age-related degradation issues in major fossil power generation components.
Previously, Rosinski led EPRI’s Renewable Generation research to increase deployment, improve performance and enhance reliability. He served on The National Academies Committee on Energy Resource Potential on DOE Lands. Additionally, Rosinski led EPRI’s Technology Innovation Program, directing fundamental research and development across the institute to accelerate application of advanced science and technology. He also led the Reactor Pressure Vessel Integrity and Fatigue Issue Task Groups under the Nuclear Materials Reliability Program.
Prior to EPRI, Rosinski was a Senior Member of Technical Staff at Sandia National Laboratories. He was responsible for the resolution of light water reactor (LWR) materials-related issues and served as chief metallurgical consultant for the U.S. Department of Energy Office of LWR Safety & Technology.
Rosinski received a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering and a master’s degree in metallurgy from the University of Nebraska. He also received a Professional Nuclear Engineer degree (honorary) from the University of Missouri-Rolla. He is a co-editor of three books; author/co-author or project manager of over 240 publications; and received two patents. His expertise includes strategic development, structural integrity assessment, boiler tube failure reduction, operating plant improvement, component life prediction, and materials selection and performance.

Art Exhibit: Eighteen Months of Exploration
Library and Technology Services invites you to visit a solo exhibition of Skutches’ artworks throughout study spaces in the Fairchild-Martindale Library (FML), 6th fl. south. The exhibit runs through March. The Eighteen Months of Exploration exhibit features twenty-one original oil paintings on canvas, created in the 18 months since Greg’s retirement from Lehigh. With a diverse range of styles and subjects, the collection reflects his evolving artistic voice—shaped by quiet walks through a park during the pandemic, the movement of wildlife, and the expressive energy of people.
“For me, painting is an effort to explore, express, and celebrate my own idiosyncratic experience with beauty—whether in a scene from nature, a photograph, an image in my imagination, or an idea I encounter in the everyday world,” Skutches says. He finds the experience thrilling and asks himself, ‘What might that look like as a painting?’ Each work is my answer to that question.”
Art with Impact
Paintings will be available for purchase, with portions of proceeds benefiting Lehigh’s Giving Day + March Mania in support of Library and Technology Services and the Basser Center for BRCA at Penn Medicine’s Abramson Cancer Center. View the catalog.
Library and Technology Services is pleased to showcase a diverse range of artistic installations that bring exciting works of art to the Lehigh community—featuring both contemporary and classical pieces, as well as works by students, professional artists, and emerging talents.
Please join us on Wednesday, March 26, 2025 from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. in the Fairchild-Martindale Library for Eighteen Months of Exploration, a conversation with Greg Skutches, artist and retired former Director of Lehigh’s Writing Across the Curriculum.
In his talk, Skutches will share his journey to his first art exhibit, reflecting on his lifelong passion for art, his career in education at Lehigh—including his role as co-founder of the TRAC Fellows Program—and how retirement opened the door to his 'encore career' as a painter. Skutches, who earned a Ph.D. in English composition and rhetoric from Lehigh in 2001, will discuss the intersections of his academic and artistic pursuits.
A Q&A session will follow. Light refreshments will be served. Register now.
Please stop by FML to explore the exhibition and we hope to see you at the talk!
