We are excited to celebrate UEJ Lab alum, Dr. Dominic Bednar, who is a new Assistant professor of urban planning and public policy at the University of California, Irvine School of Social Ecology. Bednar’s research interest on infrastructure equity fits squarely within his new department, producing significant work on energy, housing and transportation equity.
His research primarily looks at the field of energy justice but mostly examining energy poverty. Mainly, looking to understand, how we recognize energy poverty and how we respond to it. Ultimately, the goal of Dr. Bednar’s research is to think about, how we ensure everyone has adequate access to affordable, sustainable household energy.
Dominic is UEJ Lab’s first PhD graduate and was instrumental in UEJ Lab’s launch. He was also a great mentor to the Lab’s graduate and undergraduate students.
Congratulations Dr. Bednar. We miss you but wish you so much success in your new role!
