Arvind Ravikumar is a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Energy Resources Engineering at Stanford University and a non-resident fellow at the Payne Institute at the Colorado School of Mines. Starting in September 2018, he will be an Assistant Professor in Energy Engineering at Harrisburg University.
His work focuses on developing engineering-based solutions to inform energy and environmental policy. Most recently, his research has sought to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the North American oil and gas industry, by helping to integrate technological innovation within regulatory frameworks. His interdisciplinary background lets him draw insights from multiple methodologies including field studies, energy system modeling, life-cycle assessments, and techno-economic analyzes. He consults with non-governmental organizations, and state and national regulatory agencies in both the U.S. and Canada on emissions mitigation policy. He received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Princeton University in 2015.
