// Research PublicationsOver the course of my career thus far, I've published 85+ 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 published 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. |
