Bio

Hello my name is Jayson I am currently an PhD student at Stanford University. I am focusing on identifying the health, environmental, and social impacts of climate change and creating co-benefits from developing sustainable energy transition. I did my undergrad at the University of Michigan and my master’s from the Harvard. I focused my thesis on evaluating and mapping emission changes after installing scrubbers to coal power plants. Before my PhD program I worked as a Management and Program Analyst at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in the Office of Inspector General, where I evaluated EPA's water programs and made recommendations for improvement. I am looking forward to collaborating and working on various projects
