1. The standard bio layout contains: your name, academic background, work experience, research domain, research methodology, research description, publications, a black-and-white portrait, personal website and professional website... in that order. Students early in their career may only have content for some of these sections. That's cool. Add more when you have it\!

2. Anything sandwiched in-between a pair of start-bracket htmlcomment end-bracket is not displayed in viewer's browsers.

3. Look at the menu options beneath this window. One of the options is "Label." You can now label your bio which enables... drum-roll... indexing\!\!\!\! Please cut & paste from the following standard labels:


Extended Enterprises
Critical Infrastructures
Energy and Sustainability
Health Care Delivery

Aerospace
Aircraft/aviation
Energy & Environment
Healthcare
Internet and software/applications
Management and organizations
Military/Defense
Operations
Product Design and Development
Public Policy and Regulation
System Dynamics & Design

h4. Research Domain:

energy and sustainability, climate change and energy policy 


h4. Research Methodology:

integrated assessment modeling, uncertainty and decision analysis, general equilibrium models, policy analysis

h4. Research Description:

Claudia’s research focuses on improving modeling approaches that   integrate engineering and economic models (bottom-up and top-down   models) with the ultimate goal of developing tools that could better   assess policies to ease the transition to low-carbon energy systems. In   particular, she looks at the electric sector considering both fossil   fuels and renewable energy choices, and the consequent macroeconomic   impacts or policy design. She is currently working with the MIT Joint  Program on the Science  and Policy of Global Change.
