// Research PublicationsOver the course of my research career thus far, I've published more than 85 high-quality research reports, insights, briefs, memos etc on a myriad of clean energy markets, policy, and energy access related topics. Happy reading!
A note: Most of my work for Wood Mackenzie and GTM Research is behind a client paywall, but I encourage you to peruse this library of my published works to get a sense of my work and read the public access pieces. |
