Overview
Personal Profile
Vikram Ravi is a member of the Impact Analysis Group, where he leads research in air quality, atmospheric science, and the circular economy. He employs advanced chemical transport models, reduced-complexity models, and machine learning techniques to evaluate and quantify the health and economic benefits related to air quality improvements from bioenergy, transportation, and the power sector. Additionally, by leveraging system dynamics modeling, his work provides critical insights into the dynamic stages of the lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery supply chain, including manufacturing, reuse, repurposing, and recycling.
