Welcome! I started this personal website in 1997 while I was at Worcester Polytechnic Institute studying engineering and I have been updating the content and occasionally redesigning it ever since. The site contains a blog, pictures of my family and friends, and my resume. Since graduating from the Goldman School of Public Policy at the University of California at Berkeley in 2009, I started writing short pieces on energy issues. I will include these posts along with personal items in my blog below.
I went to the Washington Auto Show and wrote a piece on the Nissan Leaf for the Pew Center on Global Climate Change.
Nissan is retooling a facility in Tennessee to produce the Leaf. The company will put the U.S. in a great position to compete with other nations to manufacture cutting-edge vehicles.
I wrote my first blog entry at the Pew Center on Global Climate Change after attending a transportation conference in Washington, DC.
In the article, I discuss a hot topic in transportation policy circles -- vehicle miles traveled (VMT) targets.

I analyze some of the benefits and risks associated with using the Internet to improve electricity management.

I argue that net neutrality is part of the battle to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The smart grid will open the doors to energy innovation on the Internet as long as the priority of Internet traffic remains neutral.
