Yin Hao

Hao is a post­doc­toral researcher in RAEL as well as in the Depart­ment of Earth Sys­tem Sci­ence at Tsinghua Uni­ver­sity. She holds a double-​​degree Ph.D. from Bei­jing Nor­mal Uni­ver­sity and Aal­borg Uni­ver­sity, spe­cial­iz­ing in envi­ron­men­tal eco­nom­ics and envi­ron­men­tal plan­ning respec­tively. Hao’s research applies inter­dis­ci­pli­nary meth­ods to ana­lyze the pol­lu­tion sources, health impacts and exter­nal cost of air pol­lu­tion in China.

Hao is deeply inter­ested in envi­ron­men­tal poli­cies and their effec­tive­ness at bal­anc­ing eco­nomic growth with envi­ron­men­tal sus­tain­abil­ity. She is cur­rently col­lab­o­rat­ing with Pro­fes­sor Zhang Qiang, Pro­fes­sor Liu Zhu and Pro­fes­sor Daniel Kam­men. Her post­doc­toral research inves­ti­gates energy con­sump­tion in devel­op­ing coun­tries and its impacts on CO₂ emis­sions and human health.

She is lead researcher in the UC Berkeley-​​Tsinghua U-​​Duke Uni­ver­sity part­ner­ship on the health impacts of decar­boniza­tion of the power sec­tor in China, Cal­i­for­nia, and elsewhere.

Cruetzig , Felix

Dr. Felix Creutzig is head of the work­ing group Land Use, Infra­struc­tures and Trans­port. He is lead author of the IPCC’s Fifth Assess­ment Report and was lead ana­lyst of the Global Energy Assess­ment. Felix Creutzig teaches courses about cli­mate change and infra­struc­tures at Tech­nis­che Uni­ver­sität Berlin. His research focuses on:

•    Con­cep­tu­al­iz­ing and quan­ti­fy­ing GHG emis­sions of cities world-​​wide
•    Assess­ing oppor­tu­ni­ties for GHG mit­i­ga­tion of cities world-​​wide
•    Build­ing mod­els of sus­tain­able urban form and trans­port
•    Land rents as a com­ple­ment for financ­ing sus­tain­able infra­struc­tures
•    Ana­lyz­ing the role of cap­i­tal stocks and infra­struc­tures for cli­mate change mit­i­ga­tion
•    Land use-​​mediated uncer­tainty in inte­grated assess­ments, par­tic­u­larly those related to bioenergy

Since 2009 Felix Creutzig is also group leader at the Depart­ment of the Eco­nom­ics of Cli­mate Change at Tech­nis­che Uni­ver­sität Berlin.  He was a post­doc fel­low at the Energy and Resources Group at the Uni­ver­sity of Cal­i­for­nia, Berke­ley, col­lab­o­rat­ing with Dan Kam­men, Lee Schip­per and Eliz­a­beth Deakin, and the Energy Foun­da­tion China in Bei­jing. Felix Creutzig received his PhD in Com­pu­ta­tional Neu­ro­science from Humboldt-​​Universität zu Berlin, and holds a Mas­ter of Advanced Stud­ies (Path III in Math­e­mat­ics) from Cam­bridge Uni­ver­sity, UK.

Avrin, Anne-​​Perrine

Anne-​​Perrine is a PhD stu­dent in the Energy and Resources Group and a research fel­low within the energy com­pany Areva. In the Renew­able and Appro­pri­ate Energy Lab­o­ra­tory, her research focuses on long-​​term capac­ity expan­sion plan­ning for the energy mix in China, and quan­ti­ta­tive meth­ods to adjust least-​​cost energy tran­si­tion path­ways by tak­ing uncer­tainty on cost pro­jec­tions into account. She is par­tic­u­larly inter­ested in the chal­lenges posed by high pen­e­tra­tion lev­els of vari­able renew­able ener­gies in cen­tral­ized power grids, and in the devel­op­ment of advanced nuclear tech­nolo­gies and elec­tric vehi­cles in Asia. She is also inter­ested in inter­na­tional col­lab­o­ra­tions around energy poli­cies and energy inno­va­tion between the United States and Europe, and has co-​​organized a debate, on behalf of the French Min­istry of Energy and the Con­sulate Gen­eral of France in San Fran­cisco, about the vision of Bay-​​Area expa­tri­ates on the French energy transition.

Anne-​​Perrine holds an MSc in indus­trial and nuclear engi­neer­ing from France, and has worked on nuclear safety and non-​​proliferation top­ics in France, China and the US before start­ing her PhD at Uni­ver­sity of Cal­i­for­nia, Berkeley.
