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:

Deputy Director: Designed regulations for air pollution control: emissions limits for electric utilities, fuel quality and bio-fuels, oil industry emissions standards
Research Domain:
energy and sustainability, climate change and energy policy
Research Methodology:
integrated assessment modeling, uncertainty and decision analysis, general equilibrium models, policy analysis
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.
