Since the late 80’s, I have worked at the intersection of climate science, energy technology, and public policy. I am now Professor of Geophysical Science at the University of Chicago and Founding Faculty Director of its Climate Systems Engineering initiative. This is a personal (non-institutional) website to share my professional work.
