Biography
Eric Masanet is a researcher
in the area of industrial
energy analysis within the International
Energy Studies Group at Lawrence
Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). His primary research
interests
include life-cycle assessment of products and industrial systems,
industrial energy demand and efficiency analysis, and the development
of models for evaluating product- and process-related energy efficiency
and greenhouse gas mitigation strategies in various geographic
regions. He also researches and authors energy efficiency
improvement guidebooks for various U.S. industries in support of the
U.S. EPA's ENERGY STAR®
for Industry program.
Eric holds a joint research appointment in the Department of Civil and
Environmental Engineering at the University of California,
Berkeley, where he currently serves
as Program Manager for the UC Berkeley Engineering and
Business for Sustainability (EBS) Certificate Program.
Prior to joining LBNL, Eric was a post-doctoral researcher in the Consortium on Green Design and
Manufacturing at UC Berkeley, where he performed research in the
areas of product design for recycling, environmental supply chain
management, and take-back system optimization for the electronics
industry. He has also consulted in
the areas of life-cycle assessment and product
design for environment for clients in the hi-tech industries.
He holds a Ph.D. in Mechanical
Engineering from UC Berkeley, with a specialization in
environmentally-conscious design and manufacturing.
