Michael Shelby

Michael Shelby serves as an Adjunct Professor at Johns Hopkins University and Chief Economist in the Transportation and Climate Division of the EPA's Office of Transportation and Air Quality. With over thirty years of experience in energy and environmental policy, his work centers on vehicle and fuel impacts on climate systems and air quality, bridging academic research with federal regulatory practice.

His academic credentials include:

• PhD in Economics from Boston University
• MA from Penn State University
• BA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison

Research focuses on environmental economics frameworks for energy policy development, particularly transportation sector decarbonization through climate modeling, air quality impact assessment, and GIS spatial analysis. His EPA role directly informs evidence-based regulatory standards for vehicles and alternative fuels.

No specific scientific awards were documented, though his thirty-year publication record spans environmental and energy topics. The text indicates no formal student advising relationships or research grants, with professional activities concentrated on federal policy implementation rather than university-based mentorship or funded projects.
