Ruozhou Du worked with the Climate Impact Lab, where he made contributions to predicting yield losses resulting from adverse climate trends, visualizing the future global inequality in damages caused by climate change, and calculating the social costs of greenhouse gases across various discounting and valuation scenarios.
In the fall of 2024, Du will be pursuing a PhD in Applied Economics and Management at Cornell University.
“I never imagined my life intersecting with climate-related work until this opportunity to be part of EPIC came along, and I’ve learned so much along the way. I am grateful not only for the practical tools and preparation it has provided for a PhD program but also for opening my eyes to the potential of using social sciences to address climate crises. This exposure has inspired me to delve deeper into this field during my upcoming PhD studies.”
