The next question won’t be how to power it. It’ll be which renewable to build it with.
I study the energy transition piece by piece: the policy, the economics, and whether it can actually get built. I want renewables modular enough to drop into anything new, from a data center to a small business.
The finding
$55 a ton gets New York to 70% renewables in an average year. Guaranteeing it takes $120.
What I work on
Three tracks, one question.
Energy systems
Five projects, each carried all the way to a number and its limits.
Capacity expansion, storage economics, and life cycle assessment, written up with the assumptions that produced each result.
All five projects
Models you can run
A carbon price you can move.
A slider built on my capstone results, so the finding above is something you pull rather than read.

Writing and speaking
A book, a commencement address, keynotes.
The Student-Athlete Playbook, plus the graduating class address for Cornell Engineering.
