Mort D. Webster is a Professor in the Department of Energy and Mineral Engineering at Penn State University, where his research program focuses on stochastic optimization and energy-environmental systems. He specializes in risk analysis, uncertainty analysis, and decision-making under uncertainty, particularly applied to electric power systems. He has published numerous peer-reviewed articles in energy environmental science, engineering, economics, and policy, and has served on national and international panels, including the U.S. EPA Science Advisory Board. Current research projects involve planning and operations of electric power systems under uncertainty, electricity market design to incentivize flexibility, and the integration of power system models with environmental system models to represent water and air quality feedbacks. Prior to joining Penn State, he was an assistant and associate professor of Engineering Systems at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2006-2013) and an assistant professor of public policy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (2001-2006). He holds a Ph.D. in Engineering Systems from MIT (2000), an M.S. in Technology Policy from MIT (1996), and a B.S.E. in Computer Science Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania (1988).
