Mission Statement

I aspire to be at the forefront of a growing movement of world citizens forging the union of policy, science, technology, economics, and sociology on global energy and environmental issues. I strive to actively communicate the importance of sustainable energy and climate research to citizens and policy makers in service of a more harmonious relationship between humans and the planet.
