I have worked with every stage of model development - from conception of new models such as EVCHARGE and AZTEC, significant upgrades to database and calculations capability of models such as Roadmap and FATE, addressing bug fixes and ad hoc questions from other teams on all the models, reviewing code written by other team members using the GitHub system, writing documentation and training materials, and conducting training exercises for other teams on model usage for all the models.Applied research: Led research on - Global ZEV Emissions Projections, US Heavy Duty MOU Assessment, Canada LDV Emissions Projections, India EV Emissions Projections. Supported research on - US Phase GHG Benefits Assessment, Soot free Road Transport in South Africa Health Impact Assessment, Fuel Efficiency Standards to decarbonize Australian transport, EU HDV CO2 standard targets, US HDV Infrastructure rollout assessment, EU LDV CO2 standards assessmentPolicy tracking: Global policy, sales, cost parity, and charging infrastructure tracking for the ZEV Transition Council as can be seen on the zevtc.org website - utilizing a PostgreSQL database.
