since June 2008. He recently graduated from the Masters
of Public Policy program at the University of Maryland,
in the International Development specialization. He has
a background in economics having majored in
International Economics at the University of Florida.
Andy has been working on a variety of research topics
since coming on board including the economic impacts of
climate change on specific sectors of the Pennsylvania
economy. Future research topics include determining the
possibility of lowering emissions in Maryland beyond the
RGGI cap by focusing efficiency improvements into the
end use sector of natural gas. He will also be working
on a study determining the relationship between
increasing temperatures as a result of climate change
and their impact on electricity use and heat related
mortality.
