Examining the public health impact of ZEV mandates in the US

“Forward-looking public policies are needed to ensure a just transition, and by quantifying the health co-benefits of sustainable infrastructure, we can build a strong argument for them. I aim to quantify the health co-benefits of Electric vehicle (EV) sales using observational data across the US using a combination of statistical and explainable machine learning approaches. By quantifying these effects, we aim to strengthen the argument for broader adoption of Zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) mandates.”

Exploring Gaps and Requirements to Support More Just Engagement with Energy Modelling for Building Retrofits

Investigating how a modelling-based approach to energy transitions can support more equitable participation and just decision making for building retrofits.
