Photo of David Dr. David Von Hippel is a Nautilus Institute Senior Associate working in Eugene, Oregon. David's work with Nautilus has centered around energy and environmental issues in Asia, and particularly Northeast Asia. He has done extensive analyses of the patterns of fuels use prospects for energy efficiency in North Korea, prepared reviews of rural electrification options and of the impacts of climate change/sea-level rise in Asia and the Pacific, and trained representatives in the use of demand-side management planning tools. He is currently involved in several Nautilus projects, including the "East Asia Energy Futures" and upcoming "Energy Security" initiatives.

David's recent publications with Nautilus include

Dr. Von Hippel's training and experience cover a broad range of topics and applications in the fields of energy and resource planning and environmental management, including energy efficiency, demand-side management and integrated resource planning for utilities, renewable energy, global climate change, acid gas emissions, rural electrification, and energy/environment scenario modeling. In addition to his work with Nautilus, he has worked for a number of private and public agencies, including the World Bank, the United Nations, a domestic (US) gas utility, and Tellus Institute (Boston, MA). Much of his work has focused on training developing-country researchers in government agencies and NGOs from Asia, Africa, and Latin America to use tools and techniques of energy and environmental planning to support sustainable social development.

David holds M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Energy and Resources from the University of California/Berkeley, and M.A. (Biology) and B.S. degrees from the University of Oregon.
