Gabe Chan

I am a Public Policy Ph.D. student at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government where I study energy technology innovation economics and policy. Current research projects are looking at expert opinion of future cost and performance of fossil power plants and vehicles, the impact of venture capital and federal R&D financing for "transformative" innovation, and firm-level decision making for adopting new technologies in developing countries.

Prior to the Kennedy School, I studied atmospheric chemistry and political science at MIT. In 2007 and 2009, I worked at the U.S. Department of Energy in the Climate Change Technology Program (CCTP), an interagency group tasked with prioritizing the U.S. federal government’s investments and policies for mitigating climate change through accelerated technology innovation and deployment.
