I study energy and climate policies in the United States. To be more specific, my focus is currently on natural gas infrastructure and the electricity sector. I use techno-economic analyzes, life-cycle assessments and statistical techniques to develop workable policy solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. I have an eclectic background in electrical engineering, laser physics and environmental sensor systems. Outside of work, I'm an avid outdoor adventurer - I often go on or organize backpacking, hiking, mountaineering or canyoneering trips.
