Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNoah Klugman is a founder-CEO and applied researcher who has spent 13 years building sensor-driven systems to measure and improve power reliability across emerging markets. As co-founder and CEO of nLine, he leads a 16-person, non-venture-funded team that deploys grid and off-grid voltage and outage monitoring across multiple African countries in partnership with agencies like USAID, MCC, and national utilities. His work traces back to a Berkeley PhD in EECS where his thesis produced the techniques and first large-scale measurements of grid reliability in Accra, earning a Sevin Rosen Funds Award for Innovation. Noah combines deep technical chops in sensing, measurement, and data-driven field deployments with hands-on product and operational leadership. He’s equally comfortable discussing sensor design, large-scale deployments, and the policy implications of energy data, and enjoys mentoring PhD students on surviving graduate research. Based in Berkeley, he brings a rare blend of academic rigor and pragmatic startup execution to infrastructure reliability.
