He co-founded MPSGE.jl (https://github.com/julia-mpsge/MPSGE.jl) with his PhD advisor David Anthoff as an open-source evolution of Tom Rutherford’s MPSGE modeling environment in Julia, and now co-develops the project with Mitch Philipson at WiNDC (https://windc.wisc.edu/). Eli’s current research includes an investigation of the economic links between methane and carbon dioxide emissions using a CGE model of the U.S., with implications for Pigouvian tax rates and cost-efficient climate policy. He earned his PhD in Energy and Resources from UC Berkeley in 2023 and was a Precourt Energy Institute postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University (2024-2025), advised by Larry Goulder.
