Hello

I research energy systems and the effects of climate and energy policies, using methods primarily from 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 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 analysis used by EU legislators and government officials to design reforms for the EU Emissions Trading System, which eventually drove the EU carbon price from €10 to €100 per ton CO₂. Emil holds a PhD in Electric Power Engineering from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), a M.S. in Technology and Policy from MIT, and a B.A. in Mathematical Economics from Colorado College. He currently also serves as a consultant for Good Judgment.
