Bio:
Dr. Gang He is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Technology and Society at Stony Brook University, as well as a Visiting Faculty Affiliate for the International Energy Analysis Department at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
Dr. He’s work focuses on energy modeling, energy and climate policy, energy and environment, domestic coal and power sectors and their key role in both the global energy supply and in international climate policy framework. He also studies other interdisciplinary aspects of global climate change and the development of lower-carbon energy sources.
Dr. He was a Research Associate with Stanford University's Program on Energy and Sustainable Development from 2008 to 2010. In 2015, he received his PhD in energy and resources from University of California at Berkeley. He also holds an MA in climate and society from Columbia University, and a BS in Geography from Peking University.
