Autorenporträt

Jennifer F. Sklarew brings 30 years of energy policymaking and analysis to her research and teaching as a professor of energy and sustainability at George Mason University. National Public Radio (NPR) has quoted her as an expert on Japanese energy policymaking. In the U.S. Department of Commerce's Office of Japan, she collaborated on Japanese electricity and gas deregulation and served as a Mike Mansfield Fellow in Tokyo. She previously served as an energy policy consultant to Japanese utility companies and a policy analyst for the Japan Nuclear Cycle Development Institute. Her broader food-energy-water-climate resilience interest appears in this book and a co-authored book, Managing Challenges for the Flint Water Crisis.
