Lab goals

My research goals are to identify technologies and systems to increase access to energy services throughout the world. The work we do spans technology and economics.

As a researcher, your primary responsibility is to produce research. You will learn new skills but maintain an emphasis on accomplishing the goals you set for yourself.

During our meetings, we will review our progress since the last meeting, revisit the tasks we want to accomplish, and make a time budget for the tasks we want to accomplish by the next meeting.
