I just finished my first year of an interdisciplinary PhD program in environment and resources at Stanford University. Specifically, I study energy systems. I have a background in chemistry and policy. I am primarily interested in complexity theory out of fun and fascination, but it is also relevant to my research. I am interested in distributed energy systems and the complexity issues that may arise as these systems become more distributed. I am particulary curious as to whether there exist positive feedback loops of influence within distributed energy systems that may be leveraged in order to manage consumption.
