Hello,

I am a Research Scientist at Stanford University's Precourt Institute for Energy. At Stanford, I lead the materials supply chain modeling for STEER, a collaboration between Precourt and the SLAC National Lab that uses techno-economic systems analysis to guide investment, innovation, and policy for the energy transition. I also serve as a Fellow for the Stanford Emerging Technology Review, and organize the Sustainable Systems Lunch Seminar.

My research focuses on how to build a sustainable and resilient supply chain for materials needed to decarbonize the world. My approach guides decision-making via computational systems models that link materials processing with economics and policy analysis. Recent and planned projects include: estimating the competitiveness of various graphite production pathways; assessing water resource impacts and trade risks for future mining projects; modeling the cost and availability of battery metals (lithium, nickel) across energy-transition scenarios; identifying strategies to improve plastic recycling in the US; and Bayesian hierarchical modeling of material demand. Find my published work here.

Outside Stanford, I co-lead The Critical Minerals Research Lab, a virtual program for interdisciplinary student collaboration. I am also serving as a Guest Editor for a special issue in Resources, Conservation, and Recycling titled "Establishing Resilient and Sustainable Supply Chain of Critical Materials for a Low-carbon Future".
