I am extremely humbled to have had the opportunity to collaborate with leaders at Liberty Mutual Insurance, IBM, and MIT Civil and Environmental Engineering through the MIT Climate & Sustainability Consortium (MCSC). Thank you so much to everyone who helped make this work possible, especially my co-stars Ehsan Kianirad, Marina Rakhlin, and Michael Howland. #climateresilience #carboncapture #renewableenergy #datascience
My colleagues and I had the opportunity to convene experts from IBM, BBVA, Liberty Mutual, and MIT to discuss voluntary carbon markets. These cross-sectoral perspectives on risk, verification, and co-benefits are exactly the types of comprehensive discussions we need to be having to improve the current state of carbon credits.
It was so rewarding to build this tool together with my colleagues at the MCSC and with the advice and guidance from our member companies. See these reposts [1, 2] for how this project got started and what it taught me about interdisciplinary collaboration. Click here for the story on the MCSC site.
I’m so grateful I got to share my PhD journey with my amazing colleagues. I got to present part of my PhD thesis to them, the way I wished I could have defended it…with cartoons and jokes. Thank you so much to the MCSC, and especially Elise Chambers, for giving me the opportunity to share this.
