Alexander Maki, PhD Social Psychologist |

Welcome!
I'm a science policy and program evaluation expert who designs and evaluates efforts to address pressing social issues.
Currently, I work on program evaluation and energy policy analysis as a Science and Technology Policy Fellow through the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). From 2018-2019, I worked on federal climate policy as a Science Policy Fellow with the United States Congress through the American Psychological Association (APA). From 2015-2018, I was an interdisciplinary postdoctoral researcher with the Vanderbilt Institute for Energy and Environment and the Climate Change Research Network. I received my PhD in Social Psychology, with an emphasis in Quantitative Methods, from the University of Minnesota in 2015. |
