معرفی
Daniel Loughlin is an Adjunct Professor in Earth and Ocean Sciences at Duke University and a senior physical scientist at the U.S. EPA’s Office of Research and Development. His work focuses on energy system modeling, integrated assessment frameworks, and long-term climate planning. He leads the GLIMPSE project, developing computational tools for air quality, climate, and energy policy analysis. Loughlin contributed to the Energy Chapter of the 5th and 6th National Climate Assessments.
Education: Ph.D., North Carolina State University (1998).
Research Interests: Loughlin’s research integrates energy systems modeling with climate and environmental policy. Key areas include net-zero transitions, equity in emissions reductions, and the health impacts of air pollution. His work emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches to sustainable development and clean energy pathways.
Recent Work Trends: His publications analyze electrification of transportation, health co-benefits of climate policies, and equity challenges in net-zero scenarios. Projects often bridge EPA research with academic collaboration, focusing on actionable policy insights.
Grants & Advising: While no formal advisees are listed, his EPA role involves leading large-scale research initiatives like GLIMPSE. He collaborates with international teams on climate assessment frameworks (e.g., Energy Modeling Forum 37).
Labs/Teams: Leads the GLIMPSE project and contributes to Duke’s Nicholas School of the Environment through teaching a course on Integrated Assessment Modeling.
