About
This is the second event in an energy breakfast series designed to connect and build relationships among Duke alumni working or interested in the energy industry. Come meet and network with this diverse group during this breakfast event organized by Duke Triangle in partnership with Duke University Energy Initiative.
Public attention to electric vehicles is growing, despite their relatively small market share. What are the advantages of electric vehicles, technology developments required to make these vehicles mainstream, and the grid and emission impacts associated with charging? Dr. Tim Johnson will share insights.

About our speaker
Dr. Tim Johnson is Associate Professor of the Practice in Energy and the Environment at the Nicholas School of the Environment. His teaching and research address topics at the intersection of energy system planning, design of the built environment, and natural resource management, with a particular interest in how we can leverage interactions among these areas to improve environmental quality and human health. This work is inherently interdisciplinary, requiring an understanding of current and emerging energy resources, technologies, and patterns of end-use demand, as well as the demographic, economic, and policy factors driving change across the energy system. Pursuit of these interests has relied on close collaborations with other researchers, including agricultural production economists, ecologists, planners, and engineers. Current activities involve studies of how the built environment impacts energy consumption and the analytical needs of regional energy planning.
