Qingran Li

I am an Assistant Professor at Clarkson University, where I hold cross-appointments with the School of Business and Institute for a Sustainable Environment. 

My research focuses on data-driven analyses to inform environmental policy decisions, spanning three areas of focus: (1) optimizing critical design parameters of climate policies, (2) evaluating the behavioral, economic, and equity aspects of energy consumption, and (3) modeling bioeconomic dynamics to assess marine policies.
