Thomas F. Wilson
Senior Program Manager
Dr. Thomas Wilson is the Senior Program Manager for EPRI’s Global Climate Change business area. His current research activities focus on a variety of climate-related issues: costs of alternative policies and the role of technology R&D in potentially reducing these costs, exploring mechanisms for allowing flexibility in domestic and international climate policies (e.g., emissions trading, Joint Implementation and the Clean Development Mechanism) and their interactions with regulatory approaches, and providing information and methods to help electric utilities make decisions in the face of climate policy uncertainty.
Dr. Wilson joined EPRI in 1985 as a Project Manager in the Risk Analysis program in the Environment division. There, his activities focused on risk management for a variety of environmental issues (e.g., global climate change, acidic deposition, electromagnetic fields, air toxics and non-combustion wastes) and decision support methodologies (e.g., technology choice, siting, making decisions involving multiple objectives and multiple stakeholders).
Before joining EPRI, Dr. Wilson worked at ICF Incorporated, Stanford's Energy Modeling Forum and International Energy Program, and Brookhaven National Laboratory.
Dr. Wilson received a BS degree in statistics from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. He received his MS and PhD degrees in operations research from Stanford University.
