Research
Energy transition economics
I study the costs and trade-offs of decarbonizing energy systems. My current work focuses on hydrogen and power-sector economics. I also plan to study the economics of electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids.

What Does a Green Hydrogen Mandate Cost? Evidence from the Intermountain Power Project
A techno-economic study of hydrogen production at the Intermountain Power Project, comparing grid-connected and renewable-only pathways under the project's green hydrogen mandate.
Research Notes
Shorter, self-contained analyses, released as they're finished.
How Much Range Do You Get for a Liter of Car?
A fixed-volume packaging model, validated against the Honda CR-V family, comparing gasoline plug-in hybrid and hydrogen plug-in fuel cell range at every possible tank-to-battery split.
Current and Planned Research
Hydrogen & power-sector economics
Techno-economic modeling of hydrogen production, electrolyzer utilization, electricity costs, storage, and renewable integration. Further work based on the Intermountain Power Project analysis is planned.
Indonesia's energy transition
Exploratory work on floating solar, data-center electricity demand, and pumped-storage hydropower in the Cirata and Jatiluhur system in West Java.
Electric vehicle economics
Planned research comparing the economics of plug-in hybrids, battery electric vehicles, and internal-combustion vehicles. A first supporting analysis is available as Research Note 01.
