Research Interests
Dr. DeCarolis conducts interdisciplinary research on energy and environment issues with the goal of promoting long term sustainability. He is particularly interested in the application of energy technologies to effect deep cuts in greenhouse gas emissions. Dr. DeCarolis builds and applies energy systems models to study how a portfolio of technologies could be utilized over the next half century to develop a clean and affordable global energy system.
