In earlier public service, Dr. Hummel served as a Congressional Science Fellow focused on energy and climate policy. Dr. Hummel’s experience on Capitol Hill informed his Climate Policy Design Pro-Series, a program for Silicon Valley professionals and public interest organizers that remains an active online resource for educators and entrepreneurs alike. The series was developed from Dr. Hummel’s graduate course on climate policy design offered by the Energy Resources Group at the University of California, Berkeley. Before moving to Washington, DC, Dr. Hummel designed corporate energy strategies for clients of the energy intelligence software firm Itron and later consulted with the Google energy and climate team. As one of the first candidates to earn a Ph.D. from the Interdisciplinary Program on Environment and Resources at Stanford University, Dr. Hummel researched methods for interpreting technology and policy implications of energy scenarios for climate stabilization.

Demonstrating the value of policy-relevant research beyond Stanford, Dr. Hummel immediately joined Jan Hamrin, the long-time president of the Center for Resource Solutions, to co-author A Review of Role of Renewable Energy in Global Energy Scenarios for the International Energy Agency’s Implementing Agreement on Renewable Energy Technology Development. Dr. Hummel was first hooked on energy technology innovation in 1994 as a co-leader of the Clarkson University Solar Car Team, which designed and raced a highly efficient experimental electric vehicle across the country using only the power of the sun.
