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
areas
include:
- life-cycle assessment of products and industrial systems;
- industrial energy demand and efficiency analysis;
- modeling and optimization of energy efficiency
and greenhouse gas mitigation strategies in different geographic
regions; and
- development of 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 Institute of Transportation Studies
at the University of California,
Berkeley. He also serves
as Program Manager for the UC Berkeley Engineering and
Business for Sustainability (EBS) Certificate Program and is
Associate Editor of the journal Resources, Conservation, and Recycling.
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 and environmental supply chain
management for the electronics
industry. He has several years of industrial experience in the
areas of green design and product development. He has also
consulted in
these areas 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.
