Biography
Jessica Lovering has worked for over a decade at the intersection of climate change and nuclear energy. In 2020, she completed her PhD in Engineering and Public Policy at Carnegie Mellon University. Her dissertation focused on how commercial nuclear trade affects international security standards and how very small nuclear reactors could be deployed at the community level. After that, she founded the non-profit policy research organization, Good Energy Collective, which built the progressive case for nuclear energy as an essential part of the broader climate change agenda and worked to align the clean energy space with environmental justice and sustainability goals in the U.S. Most recently, she was a postdoctoral fellow with the Fastest Path to Zero Initiative at the University of Michigan, and a Senior Fellow with the Nuclear Innovation Alliance. She is currently a Fellow with the Energy for Growth Hub, looking at how advanced nuclear can be deployed in sub-Saharan Africa.
Research
Jessica's research has primarily focused on how the commercialization of advanced nuclear technologies can expand deployment and accelerate energy system decarbonisation.
