Phillip is an MS/PhD student in the Environment and Resources program at the Nelson Institute for the Environment. As a recipient of the Wes & Ankie Foell Graduate Student Award in Energy Analysis and Policy and a National Science Foundation CHANGE-IGERT Fellow, Phillip will complete the Energy Analysis and Policy (EAP) Certificate as well as the Certificate for Humans and the Global Environment (CHANGE). Advised by Tracey Holloway and Bernie Lesieutre, he works at the Center for Sustainability and the Global Environment (SAGE).
In 2008, Phillip graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a BS in Electrical and Computer Engineering. After graduation Phillip spent a year in South America, volunteering in Columbia, Peru and Ecuador, including two months in the Galapagos Islands where he worked to promote island conservation.
After returning from South America Phillip worked in Washington DC, dedicating most of his time to the House Committee on Science and Technology but also working some with the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
Currently, Phillip is pursuing thesis research and hopes to merge Tracey Holloway and Bernie Lesieutre’s expertise in atmospheric modeling and electricity production and distribution with his own background in Electrical Engineering to explore the air quality and climate impacts of electricity and energy production while characterizing the social impacts of energy policies. He is especially interested in the consequences of spatial correlation among sources of energy, air pollution levels, and exposed populations.
Outside of his research, Phillip is interested in all forms of sport and outdoor activities. He also enjoys video games, computers, and gadgetry. As often as possible, Phillip enjoys travelling and seeing new parts of the world.
