Primary Interests

Areas of specialization: Renewable energy and climate mitigation economics and policy

I am interested in applied research to support the understanding and resolve of clean energy and climate mitigation barriers and opportunities, particularly in ways that advance community-based energy markets, local economic development, and equitable distribution of the economic benefits of distributed energy resources.
