Sustainability Systems Analysis Lab

Dr. Yao has moved to Yale University. 

Sustainability Systems Analysis Lab builds analytical models to quantify environmental/economic/social implications of emerging technologies in industrial systems. Our work links fundamental engineering systems with scaled economic, environmental, and social impacts. In particular, we develop decision support tools and data analytics to analyze alternative scenarios and identify behavioral, technological, and policy pathways toward sustainable development for industries.
