U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) 1989-present: I have served as an expert consultant to the Office of Statistical Standards and the Office of Energy Markets and End Use. My responsibilities have included: writing technical reports, developing pilot models, reviewing short term and long term energy demand and supply models and forecasts, evaluation of renewable energy supplies and projections, and the analysis of energy and environmental policy scenarios requested by the U.S. Congress. I have built portions of and reviewed components of the National Energy Modeling System (NEMS) and the Regional Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO). The components in the NEMS were the Electricity Market Module, Renewable Fuels Module, Petroleum Market Module, Macroeconomic Activity Module, and International Market Module. These modules feed information into the analysis of environmental and green-house gas emissions for climate change analysis. My work on the STEO has involved developing and testing the econometric electricity consumption forecasting model by U.S. region and sector, a pilot international energy model, and analyzing the impact of natural gas price shocks on the industrial sector in the U.S. In addition, I have provided technical assistance to other U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) through EIA. This has included reviewing the impacts of world oil markets on natural gas prices, the U.S. economy, and strategic petroleum reserves. I designed a pilot theoretical and macroeconometric model for the U.S. to examine the sensitivity to oil price shocks. This research supported the Office of Oil and Gas and DoE’s Office of Fossil Energy and the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) 1992-present: I have been an expert consultant to the Office of Planning and Evaluation, Office of Finance, and the Office of the Commissioner. My responsibilities have been to provide economic and technical advice and write reports on modeling and forecasting domestic and international patent activities. I have served and participated as an Economic and Forecasting Expert to U.S. delegation at Trilateral Patent Statistics Group meetings in the U.S., the European Patent Office in Munich, Germany and the World Intellectual Property Office in Geneva, Switzerland. In other work, I have built two planning models. The first was a Simulation Model Calculator in Excel to analyze traffic at the computer workstations in the patent search facility and investment planning for the USPTO’s move to Alexandria.
