Joshua W. Elliott Research Scientist and Fellow University of Chicago and ANL Computation Institute Center for Robust Decision-making in Climate and Energy Policy (RDCEP) 5735 S. Ellis Ave. Chicago, IL 60637 Adjunct Research Scientist Columbia University Center for Climate Systems Research NASA GISS; 2880 Broadway. NY, NY 10025; Rm 341 Tel: 212-678-5630 Areas of Interest: * Climate change impacts and adaptation in agriculture and forestry * Integrated assessment and economic modeling, primarily CGE and PE * Land use cover and change modeling * Large scale computation and ensemble simulation I work on a variety of topics at the interface of global change, environmental, and social sciences through a variety of applied modeling and computational projects. I lead team at the center for Robust Decision-making in Climate and Energy Policy (RDCEP) and in the Agricultural Modeling Intercomparison and Improvement Project (AgMIP). I currently run several projects designed to improve global change Vulnerability, Impact, and Adaptation (VIA) assessment tools (primarily in agriculture and forestry) using large-scale high-resolution models enabled by high-performance computing. I also have experience with socio-economic modeling and scenario analysis in the context of integrated assessment models. I received my PhD in high-energy theoretical particle physics from McGill University in 2008. I have been with the Computation Institute since 2009.
