Biography

I study how to manage risks associated with oil and gas development, energy development, and air quality. My research focuses largely on local and state policy making. I'm especially interested in utilization of participatory processes and measuring outcomes and outputs resulting from involving citizens and nongovernmental actors in public policy decision making and implementation.
