معرفی
Adam Brandt is a Professor of Energy Science Engineering at Stanford University and a Senior Fellow at the Precourt Institute for Energy. His research focuses on reducing environmental impacts of energy systems, particularly greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels. He employs life cycle assessment (LCA) and process optimization to analyze energy systems at large scales. His work addresses emissions from transportation energy supply, power systems with carbon capture, and methane leakage reduction. Brandt holds a Ph.D., M.S., and B.S. from UC Berkeley and UC Santa Barbara, respectively.
**Education:**
- Ph.D., Energy and Resources, UC Berkeley (2008)
- M.S., Energy and Resources, UC Berkeley (2005)
- B.S., Environmental Studies (Physics emphasis), UC Santa Barbara (2003)
His research interests emphasize actionable solutions for decarbonization, including:
- Methane emissions mitigation strategies
- Life cycle assessment frameworks for energy systems
- Optimization of energy system efficiency
- Climate policy design for fossil fuel industries
- Aircraft-based emission monitoring technologies
Recent work highlights advancements in carbon intensity mapping, satellite-based methane detection, and policy mechanisms for low-cost emission reductions. His projects often involve interdisciplinary collaboration across engineering, environmental science, and economics. Brandt is affiliated with the Environmental Assessment and Optimization (EAO) Group and contributes to Google Scholar publications on energy transitions and climate mitigation.
