Past Lab Members
I am pursuing a PhD in Environment and Resources and a certificate in Energy Analysis and Policy. My research uses integrated assessment models to understand the scale-up potential, policy implications, and equity impacts of negative emissions technologies. As a long-time Badger, I earned my MS in Environment and Resources in 2022 and BS in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences in 2019 from UW-Madison. Outside of the lab, I enjoy baking, gardening, and spending time with family and friends.
I am a master’s student in the Nelson Institute’s Environment and Resources Program. My research examines the effects of corporate venture capital on clean-tech startup growth and its contribution to greenhouse gas emissions reductions. I began researching clean-tech innovation at the Center for Global Sustainability at the University of Maryland after graduating in 2019 with a B.S. in Physics and B.A. in Government and Politics.
I am pursuing a joint PhD in Agricultural and Applied Economics and Environment and Resources. My research focuses on measuring and modeling the equity impacts of clean energy transitions. Previously, I worked in energy consulting, conducted field research on energy access in sub-Saharan Africa, and led environmental curriculum development projects in the Marshall Islands. When not coding in R or going down equity metric rabbit-holes, I enjoy biking or running around lake Wanaka, working in the garden, or re-watching Lord of the Rings with my wife and two cats.
I am an undergraduate studying Economics, Math, and Chinese. I am interested in modeling the interaction of environmental change and the global economy. I'm especially passionate about the future of sustainable food production and the possibility of local, self-provisioning economies. My current research develops statistical models in areas such as aviation and agricultural technology. Outside the lab you'll find me hiking, playing music, or cooking!
I am a Postdoc at La Follette School of Public Affairs. My research focuses on modeling and optimizing sustainable energy transition systems, particularly related to meeting building energy demands. I obtained my Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering working in the modeling and mathematical optimization of sustainable systems, with applications in water management and waste-to-energy. Previously, I was a Research Assistant at the Helmholtz Center for Environmental Research (UFZ) in Leipzig, Germany.
I am pursuing a Master’s in International Public Affairs and a certificate in Energy Analysis and Policy. My research focuses on environmental policies and politics - with current emphasis on heat pump policy adoption in the U.S. Previously, I was a Research Assistant at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, and studied in Sciences Po and the National University of Singapore. Outside the lab, I can be found across a chess board, on a bicycle, or browsing my next travel destination.
