Our student Udayan Singh participated in the 2nd International Conference on Energy Research and Social Science, organized by Elsevier at the Arizona State University during May 28-31, 2019. He presented his work on reframing environmental life-cycle assessments with feedback of social perspectives. He was also invited to chair a session on Energy Futures and Transitions. Udayan’s visit was generously supported by a competitive support grant awarded by the conference organizing committee and made possible by the support of the Energy Impacts Research Coordination Network and the Sloan Foundation.

New ERI grant on studying energy sector resilience funded
UVA’s Environmental Resilience Institute has awarded us a seed grant for Assessing Cost-effectiveness of Resilient Energy Systems (ACRES) within the United States. This will allow us to renew our collaboration with Prof. Mark White, and also build new partnerships with Prof. Bill Epling (ChE Chair) and Drs. Sha Yu and Gokul Iyer, scientists of a highly influential integrated assessment modeling group at JGCRI. The project builds on the modeling work of PhD Student Udayan Singh. Stay tuned for updates!
