During his internship, Andrew Eilbert analyzed and then fixed rates for compressed natural gas transit buses within the Motor Vehicle Emission Simulator (MOVES). In addition, he wrote an accompanying report to describe my methodology for changing these rates. This work on alternative fuel and hybrid vehicles aligns nicely with his graduate coursework, where Andrew has been focusing on the development and management of low-carbon technologies in the School of Natural Resources and Environment.


Emily Taylor spent the majority of her time at WRI shepherding two working papers through the publication process. The first working paper, she helped with the final components of editing, revising, research, and review before proofing and publishing. The second paper she contributed more substantially to the content (is now listed as an author), and guided it through the internal review and partway through the external review.
