Time Series Foundation Models (TSFMs) for Carbon-Aware Research and Sustainability
February 2 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
This hybrid workshop will introduce the UCLA research community to the emerging class of Time Series Foundation Models (TSFMs) and their application to sustainability challenges such as electricity grid carbon intensity forecasting. Participants will gain hands-on experience with TSFM frameworks, open-source datasets (e.g., ElectricityMaps), and computational tools designed to enable accurate, generalizable forecasting without requiring extensive region-specific data. The workshop will emphasize reproducible workflows, integration with high-performance computing, and the potential for interdisciplinary applications across energy, environment, and policy domains.
