Areas of Interest
Our research group develops methods to assess the economic and environmental impacts of emerging energy technologies. By studying systems across their life cycle—from production to use and waste—we provide insights that guide infrastructure planning, investment, and policy. Our work connects engineering, economics, and policy to support decisions on sustainable energy futures.
We build open-source models that allow scientists, engineers, policymakers, and industry leaders to evaluate trade-offs among energy options. These tools improve transparency by highlighting the financial and environmental implications of technology choices.
We strive to advance strategies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions through collaborative, interdisciplinary research.
