Expertise Across Energy Systems

Master of Energy Transition (MET) faculty bring diverse expertise in engineering, business, economics, communications, environmental studies, and the energy sector—reflecting the interconnected systems that drive the energy transition. This interdisciplinary approach prepares you to navigate the technical, economic, and social dimensions of a rapidly evolving energy landscape.

A note from Irving Institute Faculty Director, Professor Geoffrey Parker:

"Our MET faculty are world-class scholars and seasoned practitioners who bring deep expertise and hands-on experience to the classroom. They teach enduring principles that will anchor your career, alongside the contemporary knowledge that today’s employers demand. Importantly, they’ll help you build the interdisciplinary fluency to move seamlessly across disciplines and sectors—so you can become the bridge builders our energy future urgently needs."

— Professor Geoffrey Parker, Faculty Director, Irving Institute for Energy and Society
