Description:

The Program on Plastics, Ecosystems, and Public Health (PEPH) will host Troy R. Hawkins, Group Manager, Fuels and Products Group at Argonne National Laboratory.

When: Wednesday, January 31 | Time TBA
Where: Location TBA

Speaker: Troy R. Hawkins is Group Manager of the Fuels and Products Group at Argonne National Laboratory

Speaker Bio: Troy Hawkins is a Senior Scientist and leads the Fuels and Chemicals Group of the Systems Assessment Center. His research focus is on improving the environmental performance of energy and product systems, with particular focus on decarbonization, where he applies life cycle assessment and other quantitative systems analysis approaches to provide actionable insights. Troy Hawkins has evaluated the energy and environmental impacts of conventional and alternative transportation energy systems, electricity and biopower, plastics and chemicals, and industrial processes, and has developed new methods for life cycle assessment and environmentally-extended input output analysis. He contributes to the development of Argonne’s GREET (Greenhouse Gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy Use in Technologies) model for life cycle analysis of energy systems, products, and technologies.

This conversation is part of the seminar series hosted by the Program on Plastics, Ecosystems, and Public Health at the Paula M. Trienens Institute for Sustainability and Energy.
