Swaroop Atnoorkar

Swaroop Atnoorkar serves as a Researcher III-Decision Support Analysis at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory's Strategic Energy Analysis Center, where she focuses on sustainable building construction using mass timber, biofuels resource modeling, transportation systems, and the Materials Flow through Industry (MFI) tool. Her work contributes significantly to decarbonization policy analysis and energy systems research.

Her academic background includes:

• Master of Energy Systems Engineering from the University of Michigan
• Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering from Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute

Swaroop's research spans multiple critical areas of energy sustainability:

• Renewable energy scenario modeling for future energy systems
• Decarbonization policy analysis for effective climate action
• Energy and grid efficiency improvements
• Transportation systems analysis with focus on sustainable alternatives
• Life cycle assessment of energy technologies and building materials

Her publication portfolio demonstrates strong focus on sustainable construction materials and bioenergy systems. Recent work examines carbon intensity of mass timber, cross-laminated timber applications in the United States, marine biofuels for port regions, and economic pathways for algae-based aviation fuels. A notable trend in her research is the integration of environmental, economic, and social considerations in technology assessment.

While specific scientific awards are not documented in the available information, her research has gained recognition through citations in the scientific literature, with several publications accumulating multiple citations.

Swaroop collaborates with researchers across various institutions and contributes to NREL's Strategic Energy Analysis Center. Her work supports decision-making for sustainable energy systems through rigorous analysis of technology pathways, policy impacts, and environmental considerations.
