I am surprised and humbled to be the recipient of the 2025 ABET and The Lemelson Foundation Engineering for One Planet Innovation in Sustainability Award.

My latest article (again with co-authors Gregor Semieniuk and Paul Brockway) is now available at https://doi.org/10.1177/01956574251331966. This is Part II of a two-part paper entitled “Energetic and Economic Aspects of Rebound.” (Part I is described here.)

Introduction

With colleagues and friends Gregor Semieniuk (economist) and Paul Brockway (energy analyst), I developed a mathematical framework to describe the rebound effect. More than six years in the making, Part I of our two-part paper was published today at https://doi.org/10.1177/01956574251331969. The paper speaks for itself (with more than 200 equations!). In this blog post, I want to recount the process that led to its publication. Such stories are too rarely told.

Description

The Fall 2024 ENGR333 project focused on solar PV electricity generation for Calvin University.

I was interviewed today on The Shelley Irwin Show. I discussed the Fall 2024 ENGR333 Calvin Solar Farm project.
