Ines M. L. Azevedo
Perry L. McCarty Director at the Woods Institute for the Environment, Professor of Energy Science Engineering, Senior Fellow at the Precourt Institute for Energy, at the Woods Institute and Professor, by courtesy, of Earth System Science
Professor Azevedo is passionate about solving problems that include environmental, technical, economic, and policy issues, where traditional engineering approaches play an important role but cannot provide a complete answer. In particular, she is interested in assessing how energy systems are likely to evolve, which requires comprehensive knowledge of the technologies that can address future energy needs and the decision-making process followed by various agents in the economy.
Research Statement
Assessing how to transition to sustainable and low carbon energy systems, based on the technologies that can address future energy needs and the decision-making process followed by various agents in the economy. Computing the life-cycle health, environmental and climate change damages associated with different transportation strategies.
