Stephanie Carlisle

Stephanie Carlisle is a Lecturer in Urban Ecology within the Department of Landscape Architecture and a Lecturer in Building Technology within the Department of Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania's Stuart Weitzman School of Design. She concurrently serves as a research scientist at the Carbon Leadership Forum, developing open-access embodied carbon and life cycle assessment tools to decarbonize the building sector.

Her research focuses on:

• Urban Ecology
• Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
• Environmental Justice
• Climate Policy
• Constructed-Natural Environment Interactions

Recent publications analyze energy transitions in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, exploring coal phase-out strategies, urbanization challenges, and sustainable futures. These works consistently integrate climate change mitigation with social equity considerations across urban design and policy contexts.

As an educator, she trains students to address climate and justice challenges through design innovation. Her Carbon Leadership Forum role involves cross-sector collaboration to create industry-wide decarbonization resources.
