  Pittsburgh As a research scientist I am conducting mixed methods research on energy efficiency investment decision-making, energy conservation programs, and educational program evaluation. Within these topics I use randomized controlled trials to test methods of getting social relationships and incentives work together rather than at cross-purposes, using social psychological and behavioral economic theories of self-perception, reciprocity, and motivation.

Within these topics I use randomized controlled trials to test methods of getting social relationships and incentives work together rather than at cross-purposes, using social psychological and behavioral economic theories of self-perception, reciprocity, and motivation. I'm also teaching a course in Applied Data Analysis, focusing on visualization, diagnostics, panel data, and non-parametric alternatives to the generalized linear model.

  As a post-doctoral fellow in CMU's Department of Engineering and Public Policy, I am conducting research on energy and climate decision-making. One recent project focuses on the energy efficiency investment decisions of commercial building owners. I'm also currently developing an approach that recruits and makes valid statistical inferences from peer-driven samples.

One recent project focuses on the energy efficiency investment decisions of commercial building owners. I'm also currently developing an approach that recruits and makes valid statistical inferences from peer-driven samples. I am also continuing research from my dissertation on human forecasting (and backcasting) in the domains of energy prices and predicting the behavior of others. My research has been published in peer-reviewed journals, and I'm also involved in a lot of grant writing (and receiving).
