My colleague Bernardo Tostes is the lead author on my latest article: Insights from the evolution of transport technologies, 1800–2020: Energy use, transitions, and efficiency published in Applied Energy.
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.)
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.
The Fall 2024 ENGR333 project focused on solar PV electricity generation for Calvin University.
