Ian D Lloyd serves as an Adjunct Professor in the Science, Technology and International Affairs Program at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service, while concurrently holding the position of Director of Power Sector Policy & Strategy at the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF). With over a decade of multidisciplinary experience spanning government agencies, international institutions, and academia, his work focuses on clean energy innovation and climate policy implementation across global frameworks.
His academic foundation includes a Ph.D. in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences from Princeton University (2011), complemented by a fellowship in Science, Technology, and Environmental Policy at Princeton's School of Public and International Affairs. Earlier education comprises a B.A. and M.Sci in Physics from the University of Cambridge, UK.
Lloyd's professional trajectory demonstrates deep specialization in energy-climate systems, with research interests centered on power sector decarbonization, technology transparency frameworks, and international environmental governance. His career progression from Congressional Science Fellow to Department of Energy and State Department roles reflects applied expertise in translating scientific research into policy instruments, particularly through initiatives like the Office of Global Change's clean energy programs.
As an active faculty member affiliated with the Center for Security Studies (CSS), he bridges technical climate science with geopolitical strategy in his teaching. Though specific awards aren't documented, his leadership in high-impact roles—including architecting State Department initiatives from 2016-2023—signifies recognition within policy circles. His current EDF position extends this work toward market-based power sector transformations, indicating ongoing research in emissions reduction economics.
