Tony Harding serves as an Assistant Professor at the Carter School of Public Policy, Georgia Institute of Technology since 2023, concurrently holding faculty fellowships at the Brook Byers Institute for Sustainable Systems and the Energy Policy Innovation Center.

His research centers on climate, environmental, and energy economics with emphasis on technology's impact on climate governance. Key investigations include climate damage distribution modeling, solar geoengineering health implications, and AI's energy footprint, bridging economic theory with environmental policy design. His interdisciplinary approach integrates macroeconomic projections, health impact assessments, and technological innovation analysis.

Recent publications in Energy Economics, PNAS, and CESifo reveal consistent focus on quantifying climate policy trade-offs and technological externalities. Work spans methodological advances in growth projections, mortality risk modeling under geoengineering scenarios, and emerging challenges in sustainable computing infrastructure.

Harding teaches core curriculum including Principles of Microeconomics and Cost Benefit Analysis alongside specialized courses in Environmental Economics and Policy. His instructional approach connects theoretical frameworks with real-world climate mitigation strategies.

Through his faculty fellowships, he contributes to the Brook Byers Institute's sustainable systems research and the Energy Policy Innovation Center's regulatory analysis, actively participating in cross-disciplinary initiatives addressing energy transition challenges.
