D. Cale reeves
Cale is currently the Associate Director and Global Business unit Lead for Building Optimization at Longevity Partners, a global, multidisciplinary sustainability consultancy. There, he leads a team creating actionable pathways for clients to reduce emissions in the near term and achieve net zero carbon. In his research, he explores the individual-level decision-making processes that drive emergent policy outcomes, focusing mainly on understanding the green technology adoption/diffusion system. As a computational social scientist, he enjoys applying cutting-edge methods such as agent-based modeling and natural language processing to problems that require broad systems-aware approaches, thus contributing to the search for solutions for so-called “wicked problems” like climate change. He hopes to understand how the exchange of information within social networks can be explicitly leveraged in intervention designs to achieve more effective programs and more efficient policy.
When he is not at school, Cale is probably either fixing a 1969 Triumph 500 or riding a 2016 Zero DSR.
