Rob is inter­est­ed in sus­tain­abil­i­ty, resource use, and envi­ron­men­tal change in the devel­op­ing world. He explores these issues prin­ci­pal­ly, though not exclu­sive­ly, in the con­text of ener­gy. He became inter­est­ed in the inter­sec­tion of ener­gy, soci­ety, and envi­ron­ment while work­ing as a teacher in the US Peace Corps in a remote com­mu­ni­ty in north­west­ern Kenya. He uses an inter­dis­ci­pli­nary approach that places equal empha­sis on qual­i­ta­tive and quan­ti­ta­tive meth­ods across a range of scales, from local to region­al and glob­al.
