Yin Hao

Hao is a post­doc­tor­al researcher in RAEL as well as in the Depart­ment of Earth Sys­tem Sci­ence at Tsinghua Uni­ver­si­ty. She holds a dou­ble-degree Ph.D. from Bei­jing Nor­mal Uni­ver­si­ty and Aal­borg Uni­ver­si­ty, spe­cial­iz­ing in envi­ron­men­tal eco­nom­ics and envi­ron­men­tal plan­ning respec­tive­ly. Hao’s research applies inter­dis­ci­pli­nary meth­ods to ana­lyze the pol­lu­tion sources, health impacts and exter­nal cost of air pol­lu­tion in China.

Hao is deeply inter­est­ed in envi­ron­men­tal poli­cies and their effec­tive­ness at bal­anc­ing eco­nom­ic growth with envi­ron­men­tal sus­tain­abil­i­ty. She is cur­rent­ly col­lab­o­rat­ing with Pro­fes­sor Zhang Qiang, Pro­fes­sor Liu Zhu and Pro­fes­sor Daniel Kam­men. Her post­doc­tor­al research inves­ti­gates ener­gy con­sump­tion in devel­op­ing coun­tries and its impacts on CO₂ emis­sions and human health.

She is lead researcher in the UC Berke­ley-Tsinghua U‑Duke Uni­ver­si­ty part­ner­ship on the health impacts of decar­boniza­tion of the pow­er sec­tor in Chi­na, Cal­i­for­nia, and elsewhere.

Cruetzig , Felix

Dr. Felix Creutzig is head of the work­ing group Land Use, Infra­struc­tures and Trans­port. He is lead author of the IPCC’s Fifth Assess­ment Report and was lead ana­lyst of the Glob­al Ener­gy Assess­ment. Felix Creutzig teach­es cours­es about cli­mate change and infra­struc­tures at Tech­nis­che Uni­ver­sität Berlin. His research focus­es on:

•    Con­cep­tu­al­iz­ing and quan­ti­fy­ing GHG emis­sions of cities world-wide
•    Assess­ing oppor­tu­ni­ties for GHG mit­i­ga­tion of cities world-wide
•    Build­ing mod­els of sus­tain­able urban form and transport
•    Land rents as a com­ple­ment for financ­ing sus­tain­able infrastructures
•    Ana­lyz­ing the role of cap­i­tal stocks and infra­struc­tures for cli­mate change mitigation
•    Land use-medi­at­ed uncer­tain­ty in inte­grat­ed assess­ments, par­tic­u­lar­ly those relat­ed to bioenergy

Since 2009 Felix Creutzig is also group leader at the Depart­ment of the Eco­nom­ics of Cli­mate Change at Tech­nis­che Uni­ver­sität Berlin.  He was a post­doc fel­low at the Ener­gy and Resources Group at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Cal­i­for­nia, Berke­ley, col­lab­o­rat­ing with Dan Kam­men, Lee Schip­per and Eliz­a­beth Deakin, and the Ener­gy Foun­da­tion Chi­na in Bei­jing. Felix Creutzig received his PhD in Com­pu­ta­tion­al Neu­ro­science from Hum­boldt-Uni­ver­sität zu Berlin, and holds a Mas­ter of Advanced Stud­ies (Path III in Math­e­mat­ics) from Cam­bridge Uni­ver­si­ty, UK.

Avrin, Anne-Perrine

Anne-Per­rine is a PhD stu­dent in the Ener­gy and Resources Group and a research fel­low with­in the ener­gy com­pa­ny Are­va. In the Renew­able and Appro­pri­ate Ener­gy Lab­o­ra­to­ry, her research focus­es on long-term capac­i­ty expan­sion plan­ning for the ener­gy mix in Chi­na, and quan­ti­ta­tive meth­ods to adjust least-cost ener­gy tran­si­tion path­ways by tak­ing uncer­tain­ty on cost pro­jec­tions into account. She is par­tic­u­lar­ly inter­est­ed in the chal­lenges posed by high pen­e­tra­tion lev­els of vari­able renew­able ener­gies in cen­tral­ized pow­er grids, and in the devel­op­ment of advanced nuclear tech­nolo­gies and elec­tric vehi­cles in Asia. She is also inter­est­ed in inter­na­tion­al col­lab­o­ra­tions around ener­gy poli­cies and ener­gy inno­va­tion between the Unit­ed States and Europe, and has co-orga­nized a debate, on behalf of the French Min­istry of Ener­gy and the Con­sulate Gen­er­al of France in San Fran­cis­co, about the vision of Bay-Area expa­tri­ates on the French ener­gy transition.

Anne-Per­rine holds an MSc in indus­tri­al and nuclear engi­neer­ing from France, and has worked on nuclear safe­ty and non-pro­lif­er­a­tion top­ics in France, Chi­na and the US before start­ing her PhD at Uni­ver­si­ty of Cal­i­for­nia, Berkeley.
