My research seeks to understand how technological solutions may be applied to problems in the area of energy and the environment. I have tried to understand how, and quantify the extent to which, solutions to environmental problems might be constrained by economic, behavioral, political, or operational realities. Examples of current projects include:
Disentangling the components of the public's perceptions of nuclear risk
Estimating the benefits and costs of electrified heating across the United States
Decarbonizing global freight systems
Discovering expert heuristics for additive manufacturing part selection
Understanding biases in the processing of information to counter misinformation
