Judy is a postdoctoral fellow in the Ziegler Research Group working on Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology change and equitable deployment. She holds a Ph.D. in Climate and Energy Policy from Imperial College London in the UK (2024) and a B.S. in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering from Georgia Tech (2019). Her Ph.D. research focused on quantitative insights into different justice considerations in the energy transition and was supervised by Prof. Joeri Rogelj and Dr. Iain Staffell. She has previously worked on heterogeneous catalysis as an undergrad with Prof. Chris Jones at Tech, biomass conversion at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland, and DAC sorbent degradation at Global Thermostat (a DAC startup that used to be in the ATDC program). Judy’s current hobbies are painting, film photography, and kickboxing.
