Experience
Melissa Chan is an Energy Research, Development, Demonstration & Deployment (ERD3) Policy project Research Fellow. Her research interests include energy technology innovation, energy resource development, energy efficiency, climate change, environmental impacts of technological choices, and life cycle analysis of energy systems. Her contribution to the ERD3 project will be a set of federal R&D budgets and technology portfolios that can reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions.
Before joining the Energy Technology Innovation Policy research group, Melissa was an energy analyst at the U.S. National Energy Technology Laboratory (2000–2006), and earned her Ph.D. in Engineering and Public Policy from Carnegie Mellon (2008). Her past work includes a life-cycle analysis of possible hydrogen energy infrastructure, analysis of policies to support carbon sequestration in the U.S. and abroad, and estimation of current and future anthropogenic mercury emissions in China, and an analysis of the total cost of future U.S. coal extraction under hypothetical stringent environmental regulation.
