Mark Singer

Mark Singer serves as a Researcher at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) within the Center for Integrated Mobility Sciences, Environmental Engineering department. He provides critical analytic expertise to the U.S. Department of Energy's Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) and Clean Cities program, specializing in sustainable fleet operations and regulatory implementation strategies for transportation decarbonization.

Education:

• Master of Industrial Engineering, Purdue University

Singer's research centers on renewable energy integration within transportation systems, with particular emphasis on electric vehicle infrastructure planning, alternative fuel adoption, and data-driven fleet management solutions. His work bridges engineering analysis with practical policy implementation, developing decision support tools that translate complex datasets into actionable insights for federal and municipal fleet operators. Key focus areas include charging pattern optimization, fuel economy enhancement, and sustainable mobility planning across diverse operational contexts.

His publication record demonstrates consistent contribution to transportation energy research since 2014, with recent intensification in electric vehicle fleet analysis (2024-2025). Current work examines charging infrastructure requirements, load profiling for public sector fleets, and Clean Cities coalition effectiveness, reflecting strong alignment with national decarbonization goals through data-intensive approaches.

Singer maintains active collaboration with U.S. Department of Energy programs where he leads tool development for fleet behavior tracking and acquisition planning. His research outputs directly support government agencies in meeting sustainability targets through evidence-based infrastructure investments and operational strategies for fleet electrification.

As part of NREL's Center for Integrated Mobility Sciences, Singer contributes to integrated transportation research focusing on data analytics, infrastructure planning, and sustainable mobility solutions. The center serves as a hub for developing practical tools that address real-world challenges in transportation energy systems.
