About Us
We are the premier hub and policy institution for global energy thought leadership. Energy impacts every element of our lives, and our trusted fact-based research informs the decisions that affect all of us.
This roundtable is open only to currently-enrolled Columbia University students.
Please join the Center on Global Energy Policy (CGEP) at Columbia University’s School of International Public Affairs for a student-only lunch and roundtable discussion withDr. Destenie Nock, visiting faculty member at CGEP and an assistant professor of engineering and public policy and civil and environmental engineering at Carnegie Mellon University.
Dr. Nock will present her research on the multiple dimensions of energy poverty in the United States and discuss how energy poverty may look different depending on the climate zone and the utility region. She will also discuss her work to uncover hidden forms of energy poverty using smart meter data and demographic analysis and how energy transitions can be planned in a more equitable manner.
Lunch will be provided.
