Welcome!

I’m an energy professional and policy analyst with over two decades of experience at the nexus of natural resource development, regulation, and global security. My professional background spans upstream oil and gas investment, regulatory analysis, and public-private energy partnerships.

As a researcher, I’ve published on topics ranging from Chinese STEM PhD migration to subsurface integrity in mature oilfields. My current working paper introduces the Energy Geopower Index (EGI), a new framework for measuring the evolving balance of geopolitical power between the U.S. and China across energy, technology, and military innovation.

My writing has appeared in War on the Rocks and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, and my research has been featured in Nature, Yahoo Finance, and congressional testimony.

Through my firm, Kellogg Energy Advisory, I support clients—including federal agencies—on regulatory impact assessments, decommissioning policy, and energy transition strategy.
