Biography

Dr. Adrian Duhalt is a Research Scholar at the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University´s School of International and Public Affairs.

His professional and research interests sit at the junction between political economy and development issues concerning the energy sector in Mexico and North America. Specifically, his research projects have focused on natural gas and petrochemicals, however, he has similarly had the opportunity to publish articles and reports on topics such as the ammonia-fertilizer value chain, the liberalization of the energy sector in Mexico, social conflict in energy infrastructure projects, and NOCs. As part of the CGEP, Adrian´s objective is to continue broadening the geographical and thematic scope of his research activities.

Prior to joining Columbia, Adrian was postdoctoral fellow in energy studies for the Center of the United States and Mexico and the Center for Energy Studies at Rice University´s Baker Institute. From 2013 to 2017, he was associate professor at the School of Business and Economics at Mexico´s Universidad de las Américas Puebla (UDLAP). In 2014, he was the first Puentes Consortium Visiting Scholar at the Baker Institute´s Mexico Center.
