Gang He (Chinese: 何钢; pinyin: Hé Gāng) is an expert on energy and climate policy. He is an assistant professor in the Marxe School of Public and International Affairs[1] at Baruch College, City University of New York.

Education

[edit]

He received his undergraduate degree in geography from Peking University.[2] He was known as one of the few Chinese students who were first selected to attend the UNFCCC CoP11 Youth Summit as a youth delegate.[3][4] He continued to pursue a Master of Arts at Columbia University in Climate and Society. After graduating, he worked at the Program on Energy and Sustainable Development in Stanford University.[5] In 2010, he moved to the University of California, Berkeley, where he earned Ph.D. degree in Energy and Resources, in 2015.[6]

Career

[edit]

His research group focuses on energy and climate policy, energy systems modeling, energy and climate change, and energy transition.[7] He has investigated the drivers of clean power transition and how renewable costs decrease could accelerate the transition.[8] He also studied the just transition away from coal in China.[9] His work examines data-driven methods to study the nexus interactions and impact of clean power transition. He has testified on the impact of clean energy transition in the New York State Senate Hearings On The Climate and Community Leaders Protection Act (signed into law as The Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA)).[10] He has served in the National Offshore Wind R&D Consortium's R&D Advisory Group (RDAG). He has also engaged in the U.S.-China collaboration on energy and climate change led by Asia Society.[11][12]
