She also serves as co-Director for the Climate and Energy Decision Making (CEDM) Center. Inês is interested in solving problems that include environmental, technical, economic, and policy aspects, where traditional engineering approaches play an important role but cannot provide a complete answer. In particular, she is interested in assessing how energy systems are likely to evolve, which requires comprehensive knowledge not only of the technologies that can address future energy needs but also of the decision-making process followed by different agents in the economy. Inês has a PhD in Engineering and Public Policy from Carnegie Mellon University.
