CMU’s EPP PhD trains engineers to become policy innovators who quantify risk, craft incentives, and guide technology toward societal benefit. Students integrate power-systems modeling, behavioral economics, and legal analysis to decarbonize grids; they develop cyber-risk metrics for autonomous-vehicle regulation; and they evaluate equity impacts of AI in healthcare reimbursement. The program’s Washington, D.C. practicum embeds candidates with federal agencies or NGOs, turning dissertation insights into real-time legislative briefings, while the Center for Climate and Energy Decision Making provides trans-disciplinary mentorship and project funding.
