Anna Jacobson
AY 22-23 Historian
Jacobson collaborates with professors in mechanical and aerospace engineering on the use of mathematical decomposition to improve the speed and accuracy of energy-systems models. She aims to use these models to explore means of achieving lower greenhouse gas emissions in the United States and the political implications of pathways posited. Jacobson also is a 2021 HMEI-STEP Environmental Policy Graduate Fellow. She is advised by Stephen Pacala, Frederick D. Petrie Professor in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, and Simon Levin, James S. McDonnell Distinguished University Professor in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology.
