Dan is a Senior Modeling Analyst at Energy Innovation, where he uses quantitative analysis to understand and publicize the importance of quality energy-policy design. While he has conducted research on policy in many of the 20 highest-emitting global regions, most of his work focuses on policy at the U.S. federal and state levels and in the European Union.

As a part of EI’s Modeling & Analysis group, Dan focuses on model development, building new capabilities into the organization’s in-house energy model, the Energy Policy Simulator (EPS), and adapting the model to new regions. Simultaneously, he leads the organization’s work with the Global Change Analysis Model (GCAM), a global market-equilibrium model developed by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.

Dan holds a B.A. in physics from the College of the Holy Cross and a Ph.D. in physics from Georgetown University. He serves as a co-Principal Investigator of an NSF-funded research project on science education technology. Outside of work, Dan enjoys watching Mets baseball, hiking long trails across the world, and giving belly rubs to his dog, Zoey.
