Congratulations to The 2023 Young Professional Best Paper Award Competition Winner and Runners Up

 

Congratulations to our winner:

Minghao Qiu

Minghao Qiu 

Drought impacts on the electricity system emissions and air quality in the western US

Minghao Qiu is a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University. He will join Stony Brook University as an Assistant Professor in 2024. He uses observational data, statistical, and atmospheric modelings to study the impacts of air pollution and climate change on humans and society, and policies that could address these challenges. He received his Ph.D. degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2021. For more information on Minghao's research, please seehttps://mhqiu.github.io/ 

 

Congratulations to our Runner Ups:

Xingchi Shen

Xingchi Shen 

What Matters For The Racial Disparity In Clean Heating Technology Adoption Evidence From U.S. Heat Pumps

Xingchi Shen is a Postdoctoral Associate in Energy Economics at Yale School of the Environment (YSE). His research interests include the economics of electrification and energy efficiency, electricity economics, and social equity. His previous and ongoing research examines social equity, economic incentives, and consequences of clean technology adoption (e.g., heat pumps, solar photovoltaics, electric vehicles, home batteries) in the buildings and transportation sectors, providing decision support for decarbonization policies. Xingchi received his Ph.D. in Public Policy from the University of Maryland. 

Kevin Remmy

The Marginal Generation And Emissions Impacts Of Hydropower: Evidence From The Colorado River Storage Project

Jesse Kaczmarski is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, Alaska Center for Energy and Power. His research interests include rural electrification, intermittency, battery storage, and residential energy consumption. His research is focused on these interests and how they interact with the unique generation, transmission, and distribution challenges in Alaska. His previous research includes public support for community microgrid installations, residential support for demand response programs, microgrid feasibility, contractual hydropower supply, and energy arbitrage via independent utility-scale battery operators. Jesse received his Ph.D. in Environmental and Resource Economics from the University of New Mexico in 2023.
