About
- Bio:
I’m an Energy Policy Analyst at NRDC’s new Center for Market Innovation, focusing on federal and state policies that drive clean technology innovation, investment and deployment, with a concentration on renewable energy – especially solar and algae biofuels. My recent projects include developing a federal deployment mechanism to encourage large-scale penetration of distributed generation, analyzing impacts of climate legislation on renewables investment, and managing a year long project to understand the sustainability of algae biofuels production. I joined NRDC in May 2008 after graduating from Columbia business school. I went to undergrad at UC Santa Barbara, and have eight (eclectic) years of strategy, research and marketing experience in a variety of industries.
