Now

What I’m up to

A few things keep me busy these days:

Kids

  • Raising two young kids and spending 12 hours a day with them when school is closed

Research

TipBig picture question

How can we achieve carbon neutrality by mid-century to address climate change?
How to make the clean energy transition more:

  • Sustainable (energy and environment)
  • Resilient (energy and climate)
  • Equitable (energy and justice)
  • Working with Kaifang Luo, Michael Davidson, Ahmad Lashkaripour, Ilaria Mazzocco, Minghao Qiu and collaborators and partners on the project Made in America: Drivers and Impacts of Domestic Clean Energy Manufacturing in the United States supported by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
  • Working with California China Climate Institute to study clean energy supply chains and power system resource adequacy
  • Working with Baruch colleagues on exploring energy burden among older adults and people with disabilities in New York City public housing communities
  • Working on the climate, air pollution, and human health effects of imported solar PV supported by the ClimateWorks Foundation
  • Collaborating with LBL on power system decarbonization

I welcome collaborations on

  • Clean energy global supply chains
  • Power system decarbonization modeling
  • Climate impact on energy systems
  • Just energy transition
  • Energy-water-carbon nexus
  • Other interdisciplinary aspects of carbon neutrality
