Sanya Carley, co-director of the Kleinman Center for Energy Policy at the University of Pennsylvania, has been named a Resources for the Future (RFF) university fellow—joining more than 30 RFF university fellows who hold positions at well-regarded institutions around the world.

The program is “designed to establish close working relationships between RFF and outstanding scholars in the academic community,” stated the RFF announcement.

“I have long admired the work of RFF scholars and their impact on important policy and research challenges, and am particularly honored to have the opportunity to work more closely with them on such pursuits,” said Dr. Carley.

In addition to her leadership role at the Kleinman Center, Dr. Carley is also the Presidential Distinguished Professor of Energy Policy and City Planning at the Stuart Weitzman School of Design, with a secondary appointment in the Wharton School. Her work focuses on energy justice, the energy transition, energy insecurity, electricity and transportation markets, and public perceptions of energy infrastructure. Before coming to the University of Pennsylvania, she was a professor and Associate Vice Provost at Indiana University.
