Lisa Rennels
I am a PhD candidate in the Energy and Resources Group at UC Berkeley advised by Professor David Anthoff, and hold a MSc. in Computer Science advised by Professor Sarah Chasins in the PLAIT lab, also at UC Berkeley. I employ my training in both computer science and environmental economics to carry out interdisciplinary research on the economic impacts of climate change and support policy-making in this area.

Programming tools are increasingly integral to research and analysis in myriad domains, including specialized areas with no formal relation to computer science. Embedded domain-specific languages have the potential to serve these programmers while placing light implementation burdens on language designers. We e aim to deepen our understanding of how programmers use eDSLs and identify user needs to inform future eDSL designs, focusing on Mimi.jl, an EDSL for climate economics research and policy.
