Undergraduate research opportunity (3 credit hours) in energy justice and electric utilities
June, 2020, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
My name is Mohsen, and I am a Ph.D. candidate in the School of Public Affairs and Administration at the University of Kansas. My research focuses on sustainable energy and environmental governance, policy, and justice. I bring professional experience as an urban planner and architect, specializing in sustainability, climate action planning, and energy efficiency. I hold a Master of Urban Planning from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, alongside an earlier Master’s in Architecture and Energy from the University of Tehran, as well as a Bachelor’s in Architecture.
Currently, I am working on my doctoral dissertation, titled "Toward a Theory of Energy Justice: Developing a Multi-level Operationalization Framework, Identifying Drivers of Utility Behavior, and Uncovering Plausible Pathways in the U.S. Electric Utility Sector."
I also serve as a member of the Environmental Sustainability Advisory Board for the City of Lawrence, KS.
