Working with this supervisor
I am currently seeking students interested in life cycle assessment, techno-economic assessment, or energy system modelling. Interested students with some background in one of the above areas should email me with a current CV and a 1-2 page statement in which you describe your goals for graduate school and a brief proposal of a potential research project that fits within the research areas described above.
