Welcome!

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Environmental Engineering in the Pennsylvania State University, and was a visiting student at School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University.

My research focus on politically realistic modeling of energy systems to inform policymaking. With my background in environmental engineering, environmental policy and psychology, I am dedicated to improving integrated assessment models for social and decision relevance.

I have previously worked in intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations regarding climate and energy policy, and have served as technical contributer of the 5th National Climate Assessment (Chapter 32).
