Nathan Mariano
Postdoctoral Scholar in Climate & Energy Policy
The 2035 Initiative + Institute for Energy Efficiency
University of California, Santa Barbara
Hello! I am currently a Postdoctoral Scholar with the 2035 Initiative at UC Santa Barbara. My work centers on identifying and advancing policies to achieve industrial decarbonization.
Previously, I completed a Ph.D. in Political Science at UC San Diego. My dissertation dealt with questions related to climate politics in the private sector, consumer attitudes on climate policy, and clean energy trade politics. I also worked as an instructor with the UCSD School of Global Policy & Strategy (GPS), teaching and assisting courses in the professional policy degree programs.
If I'm not working, I can probably be found cooking, reading a novel, or watching the Phoenix Suns underachieve.
