Evan is a Ph.D. student in the Science, Technology, and Environmental Policy program. He previously completed his undergraduate degree in chemical engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a second major in environmental studies, where he engaged in research through the university’s Chemical and Biological Engineering Department at the intersection of modeling and emerging technologies for waste valorization in complex chemical processes and supply chains. He later had the opportunity to complete a policy-focused research internship in Washington, DC through the Washington Internships for Students of Engineering (WISE) program. 

He is driven toward science policy questions surrounding the roles of emerging technologies in broader societal challenges, and is interested in how researchers can use large scale, integrated modeling frameworks to study the economic, environmental, and social implications of the technology’s adoption and its place within existing policy environments. Outside of his primary research interests, Evan is a cellist and also enjoys movies and exploring new places.
