Samuel Stolper

Samuel Stolper is an Assistant Professor at the School for Environment and Sustainability and the Program in the Environment (PitE) at the University of Michigan. His work focuses on environmental economics, energy policy, and sustainable transportation, with an emphasis on leveraging machine learning for policy analysis and addressing systemic environmental inequities.

His research explores topics such as energy tax pass-through mechanisms, vehicle decarbonization strategies, and the socio-economic impacts of environmental policies. He holds a joint appointment in the Program in the Environment, emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches to complex environmental challenges.

Key research trends include analyzing how policies affect household and industry energy use, evaluating the equity implications of environmental regulations, and developing data-driven frameworks for climate mitigation. His work often bridges theoretical economic models with real-world policy applications, particularly in urban and transportation systems.

Stolper’s articles span over a decade, from early nanotechnology-focused biosensor studies to recent high-impact work on machine learning-driven policy targeting and electric vehicle adoption. His office is located in Dana Building Room 3006, and he can be reached at sstolper@umich.edu.
