Hello

I work on improving the design of energy systems and climate policy using mathematical modeling primarily from the field of operations research. I am especially interested in addressing practical challenges in climate policy making and energy system planning by collaborating across disciplines.

Bio

Emil Dimanchev is a scientist specializing in climate and energy policy. He is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Princeton ZERO Lab. His work focuses on improving the design of energy policies and evaluating strategies for transitioning energy systems toward net-zero energy. He was previously a research associate at the MIT Center for Energy and Environmental Policy Research. In this role, he testified before state legislators on renewable energy policy and conducted power systems research that informed regional transmission planning. He previously spent 5 years as a climate policy analyst at Thomson Reuters Point Carbon. There, he served as a lead modeler for go-to analyses used by EU legislators and government officials to design reforms for the EU Emissions Trading System, which drove the EU carbon price from €10 to €100. Emil holds a PhD in Electric Power Engineering from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), a MSc in Technology and Policy from MIT, and a BA in Mathematical Economics from Colorado College. He currently also serves as a consultant for Good Judgment.
