The Center on Global Energy Policy (CGEP) at Columbia University SIPA today announced that Dr. Catie Hausman and Dr. Tony Reames will serve as Visiting Faculty during the 2024 fall semester. Dr. Hausman and Dr. Reames, both of whom are currently associate professors at the University of Michigan, will spend a portion of the semester at Columbia hosting public events, faculty lectures, and student seminars on their research interests, which include energy justice and energy economics.
“The Center on Global Energy Policy’s Visiting Faculty program brings Columbia University students, faculty, and staff crucial new perspectives on the world’s most intractable energy and climate challenges, and we welcome Dr. Catie Hausman and Dr. Tony Reames to New York this semester,” said CGEP Senior Director of Research Robert Johnston. “Dr. Hausman and Dr. Reames are finding the solutions we need to produce more clean power, reduce methane emissions, and make energy more affordable for everyone, everywhere. We look forward to the fresh insights they will provide on the international community’s pursuit of an energy transition.”
Dr. Hausman, who serves as associate professor at the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy and a research associate at theNational Bureau of Economics Research, studies environmental and energy economics. Her recent work has focused on electricity markets and climate change; transmission policy; inequality in pollution exposure; and the natural gas sector’s role in methane leaks. She holds a BA from the University of Minnesota and a PhD in Agricultural and Resource Economics from the University of California, Berkeley.
Dr. Catie Hausman said, “This is a crucial time for the United States as it looks to address the world’s changing climate by transitioning to clean energy and dramatically reducing greenhouse gas emissions. I look forward to working on solutions to these critical problems with students, faculty, and staff at the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia SIPA this fall.”
Dr. Reames, who serves as the Tishman Professor of Environmental Justice and Director of the SEAS Detroit Sustainability Clinic at the University of Michigan School for Environment and Sustainability, studies disparities in residential energy generation, consumption, and affordability, particularly the production and persistence of inequality by race, class, and place. He recently returned to Michigan after a leave of absence, during which he served as Principal Deputy Director for State and Community Energy Programs and Deputy Director for Energy Justice at the U.S. Department of Energy. He holds a BS in civil engineering from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, an MS in engineering management from Kansas State University, and a PhD in public administration from the University of Kansas.
Dr. Tony Reames said, “As we navigate the huge changes that are being wrought by the energy transition, it’s vital to ensure that energy is accessible and affordable for all Americans, regardless of where they live, if we are to advance a more equitable and just energy future. I am pleased to join the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia SIPA to explore the answers to these pressing questions with the Columbia community in New York this semester.”
CGEP’s Visiting Faculty program supports interdisciplinary research and understanding about key global energy and climate issues by inviting academic scholars from external institutions to become part of the Columbia community. CGEP awards Visiting Faculty positions to scholars and experts who focus on one of several core research areas, including renewable energy, oil and natural gas, geopolitics, energy markets and finance, climate change and the environment, as well as technology and innovation. Faculty are invited to participate in the program by the Academic Steering Committee.

About one in four American households experience some form of energy insecurity. Within this group, Black, Indigenous, Latine, low- and moderate-income (LMI), and other disadvantaged communities face a disproportionately higher burden.
