Computing and Systems Applied in Support of Coordinated Energy, Environmental, and Climate Planning
Citation:
Loughlin, Dan. Computing and Systems Applied in Support of Coordinated Energy, Environmental, and Climate Planning. Presented at Computing and Systems Graduate Research Symposium, Raleigh, NC, April 22, 2016.
Impact/Purpose:
Dr. Loughlin has been invited to give the keynote talk at the 1st Annual Computing and Systems Graduate Research Symposium, sponsored by the Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering at North Carolina State University.
Description:
This talk focuses on how Dr. Loughlin is applying Computing and Systems models, tools and methods to more fully understand the linkages among energy systems, environmental quality, and climate change. Dr. Loughlin will highlight recent and ongoing research activities, including: applying sensitivity analysis to assess the impacts of clean energy technologies, conducting scenario analysis to explore the efficacy of environmental regulations under deep uncertainty, and developing decision support systems that allow analysts and decision-makers to examine state-level climate actions. Dr. Loughlin will conclude with a brief discussion of the lessons learned over the first half of his career.
