Our group’s projects emerge within, and at the intersections of, three topic areas: (1) Climate, Air Pollution, and Health Impacts of Energy and Industrial Systems, (2) Public Policy and Institutions, and (3) Organizational Structures and Practices. In particular, we are interested in how we can improve the health of societies and the planet through technological, organizational, institutional, and public policy innovation, working in tandem, as none of these forces alone will enable us to solve our most complex and vexing challenges without creating new ones.

A major focus of the group’s research is on how an understanding of these three dimensions can combine to accelerate deep decarbonization of the industrial sector, including by understanding and addressing the workforce impacts of the clean energy transition. Other ongoing projects focus on the design of regional hydrogen systems, the impacts of China’s environmental policies and emissions trading system, nursing home responses to data collection requirements introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic, and fisheries management in Alaska.
