Dr. David Von Hippel is a Nautilus Institute Senior Associate based in
Eugene, Oregon. His work with Nautilus has centered on energy and
environmental issues in Asia, and particularly in Northeast Asia. He has
done extensive analyses of the patterns of fuels use and prospects for
energy efficiency and energy sector redevelopment in North Korea,
trained and worked with a group of Northeast Asian energy researchers to
develop and evaluate the energy security implications of different
energy paths for their countries, researched and assembled a regional
workshop on the environmental impacts of power grid integration in
Northeast Asia, evaluated the prospects for "clean coal" technologies in
China, prepared reviews of rural electrification options and of the
impacts of climate change/sea-level rise in Asia and the Pacific, and
contributed to many other Nautilus projects. He is currently involved in
several Nautilus initiatives, including the multi-nation Asia Energy
Security Project, centered around energy paths analysis, and the related
East Asia Science and Security Network, which focuses on potential
nuclear materials issues in the region. Also for Nautilus, he is
involved in preparing an update to Nautilus' DPRK Energy Sector Analysis
and in the DPRK Building Energy Efficiency Training project. In addition
to his work with Nautilus, he works and has worked for a number of
private and public agencies, including the World Bank, the United
Nations and Tellus Institute/the Stockholm Environment Institute-US
(Boston, MA), on a wide variety of topics ranging from utility planning
and energy efficiency in the Middle East to reducing greenhouse gas
emissions in several states and the Midwest region in the United States.
Dr. Von Hippel holds M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Energy and Resources from
the University of California-Berkeley, and M.A. and B.S. degrees from
the University of Oregon.
