Hi! I’m Zoē.
I am a PhD student and UniDel Graduate Fellow studying Energy & Environmental Policy at the University of Delaware.
My research is at the intersection of society, technology, and sustainability where I work to maintain a consistent focus on community wellbeing and priorities through sustainable transitions. I use principles of energy justice and social science approaches to collaborative research to connect communities, science, and policy in an effort to address the gap between policy implementation and positive outcomes for frequently underserved or otherwise disenfranchised communities.
I am a Graduate Research Assistant in the Sustainable Places Research Group (SUPER) and the Center for Research in Wind (CReW) where my work utilizes mixed-method approaches to understand topics like offshore wind development, regional planning and coordination, energy service and security, industrial heritage, equity, and justice. I have worked on projects funded by the USDA, DOE, Natural Hazards Center, and DE SeaGrant.
