Felix Yu is interested in both nature-based and technological decarbonization strategies. Nature-based climate solutions need to be scaled up to mitigate climate change, but our ability to quantify its impacts on carbon sequestration and ecosystem restoration is limited. Yu wants to use remote sensing, sensors, and techniques like machine learning to advance the quantitative science behind nature-based climate solutions and study the best ways to integrate them economically in the private sector. On the technological side, he is interested in distributed energy resources and how to efficiently aggregate them through strategies like Virtual Power Plants to provide better grid resiliency and alternative energy sources.
Yu enjoys staying active by hiking, playing basketball, skiing, and surfing (something he wants to get better at in the bay). He is always open to new recipes and loves cooking different cuisines.
Prior to joining ERG, Yu attended the University of Michigan. He is currently working as a Remote Sensing Research Assistant.
