sarah ebert

data analyst intern 

Sarah earned her M.S. in Computational Social Science from the University of California, San Diego, where she completed a capstone project in collaboration with the Center for Community Energy. Her research involved developing a method for quantifying the amount of energy that electric vehicle batteries could discharge back to the grid in order to shave peak loads and reduce the amount of money that the state of California would need to spend in order to accommodate the transition to clean energy.

Sarah is passionate about using her analytical skills in order to solve complex climate-related problems in equitable ways. She is very excited to join the Smart Surfaces Coalition and to support the development of the Benefit-Cost Analysis Tool.
