EDUCATIONAL EFFORTS (ALL AT CARNEGIE MELLON UNIVERSITY UNLESS NOTED)

Development and teaching of new graduate courses: I have regularly been teaching and developing new graduate level

courses on a voluntary basis since 2009. These efforts included re-designing the second half of a semester long graduate

course 19-668 Innovation for Energy and the Environment, in collaboration with Costa Samaras (taught both in Fall 09

and Fall 10), and creating a half semester (6-unit) graduate course 19-621 on Energy Systems Management and Policy in

collaboration with Sean McCoy (taught Spring 10). In Spring 2008 and Spring 2011 I taught a module of classes for the

graduate level course on Climate Mitigation Strategies (Main instructor: A. Robinson). When the course was created in

2008 I worked with Prof. Robinson in designing the syllabus. I also developed guidelines for the final class project on

Assessing potential greenhouse gas and energy savings from more efficient end-use technologies .

Climate and Energy Decision Making Student Seminar Course: Since August 2010, I created and led a Climate and

Energy Decision Making (CEDM) student seminar series to build and foster a student research community in this

interdisciplinary area. In August 2011, I formalized this effort in the form of a semester long graduate course seminar that I

run both in the Fall and Spring semesters (19-883).

AWARDS, MEDIA AND OUTREACH

Paper awards:

2012: Best paper award at the IEEE ISSST, 2012. Impact of Federal Incentives in Promoting Sustainability Through the

Adoption of Hybrid Electric Vehicles with Alan Jenn and Pedro Ferreira.

2010: My PhD student Huimin Tan was awarded the Robert W. Dunlap Award, which recognizes outstanding solutions

submitted for the Part B portion of the EPP Qualifying Exam.

Education for science teachers and for 9th grade students: In both Summer 2011 and Summer 2012, I secured funding

and coordinated two outreach events: a two-day workshop for science teachers, and a week long Summer School for 9th

grade students, both on decision-making in the context of climate change and energy systems. Both efforts were free to the

participating teachers and students. While I took a supervising and coordinating role, much of the leadership and

organization came from PhD students in the Dep. of Engineering and Public Policy, who taught several blocks of classes

and led much of the organization. More information can be found here: http://cedm.epp.cmu.edu/succeed.php

Awards:

2008: Winning team of TEAMS contest on An open letter to the presidential candidates on issues of climate change and

sustainability, organized by Johnson Controls. Prize: $10,000 for a scholarship fund and a $2,500 grant. Team members

were invited to the 2008 Energy Efficiency Forum in Washington, DC. The full letter was published in USA Today.
