Simone H. Stewart, Ph.D. Email & Phone Number

I currently work as the senior industrial policy specialist on the Climate and Energy Policy program team, with a portfolio focused on carbon capture, utilization, and storage, carbon dioxide removal technologies, and other strategies to aid in a just green transition for difficult to decarbonize sectors such as energy and industry. I am a published researcher in the field of fluid mechanics, and earned a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of California Santa Barbara, where I was a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow. At UCSB my research focused on investigating the fluid mechanics of fluxes over rough surfaces, with applications in large-scale direct air carbon capture and clean energy architecture. During that time, I also worked as the graduate assistant for the Blum Center on Poverty, Inequality, and Democracy, where I led a variety of programming, created detailed info campaigns centered around justice and community enfranchisement, and helped develop a comprehensive People’s Guide to the Green New Deal rooted in the tenants of environmental and economic justice.
