Education

PhD, Engineering and Public Policy, Carnegie Mellon University

SM, Technology and Policy, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

BA, Environmental Studies, Washington University in St. Louis

Research Interests

Michael researches how to equitably reduce global and local environmental impacts of energy systems while making those systems robust to future climate change. His research advances energy system models to address new challenges driven by decarbonization, climate adaptation, and equity objectives. He then applies these models to real-world systems to generate decision-relevant insights that account for engineering, economic, climatic, and policy features. His current interdisciplinary collaborations include climate scientists, hydrologists, economists, urban planners, epidemiologists, and diverse engineers. Prior to his current position, he worked as a Research Engineer at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
