About Me

My name is Mike Mooiman and I am an Associate Professor in the MBA program at Franklin Pierce University. I spent the 2015/2016 academic year at the Clean Energy Research Centre at the University of Botswana as a Fulbright Scholar. My research project involved studying energy issues in Botswana and, particularly, battery storage associated with off-grid solar projects. Even though I am now back in the US, I continue with my research into Botswana energy matters and return to visit as often as possible.

I have a largely technical background with Masters’ degrees in Business and Chemistry and a PhD in Metallurgical Engineering. I have been studying, teaching and writing about energy issues in the State of New Hampshire for a number of years now and I publish another blog, “Energy in New Hampshire”. At Franklin Pierce University in New Hampshire, I have also had the opportunity to build a new type of MBA – one that looks at energy from a business and sustainability viewpoint. This is our MBA in Energy and Sustainability Studies. In this program, students can spend 25% of their MBA studies studying and thinking about energy and sustainability matters. It is our goal that these students will enter the workforce with a good understanding of energy issues and that they will be able to assist and direct the organizations they join in these matters. In fact, many of our graduates are already doing so: some are working for wood-burning power plants, some for solar companies, and others for large wind-power operations.
