Environmental Assessment and Optimization Group
The Environmental Assessment and Optimization (EAO) Group is a research lab within the Department of Energy Science & Engineering at Stanford University led by Prof. Adam Brandt. Our work focuses on developing computational tools and conducting large-scale field experiments to reduce the environmental impacts of energy systems. Specifically, our research centers on three key areas: methane emissions detection and quantification, modeling and optimization for the clean energy transition, and life-cycle assessment of fossil fuels. We work in close collaboration with other groups in the Department of Energy Science & Engineering, as well as with academic and industry partners worldwide.
We invite you to explore our website and reach out with any ideas or questions!
