Professor Baker’s research is in decision making under uncertainty applied to the field of energy and the environment; with focus on energy justice and publicly-funded energy technology Research and Development portfolios in the face of climate change. Her work uses modeling to address questions about energy policy and planning in the face of climate change. She links models to bridge geographic and temporal scales, and uses multiple parallel models to derive robust insights. Other topics include evaluating the sustainability of the electricity grid in New England as well as in developing countries, and evaluating the environmental costs and benefits of offshore wind energy.
