Sustainability Research from a Systems Perspective

a Program Officer with the Board on Energy and Environmental Systems at the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.

I co-directed a consensus study on the future of electric power in the U.S. and am directing a Department of Energy-funded study on the medium to long term implications of net energy metering.

Additionally, I am co-directing a study on life cycle assessment methods for low-carbon fuels, and have contributed to consensus studies on light-duty vehicle fuel economy and the National Science Foundation’s approach to earth systems science.

I received my PhD from the Center for Sustainable Systems in the University of Michigan’s School for Environment and Sustainability, and a BS in Economics and Environmental Policy from Carnegie Mellon University.
