Biography
Professor Yael Parag is the vice dean and head of the Energy Program of the School of Sustainability at Reichman University. She holds a BSc in biology and MA and PhD degrees in social sciences. Between 2005 and 2011, she was a senior researcher in the energy group of the Environmental Change Institute (ECI) at the University of Oxford.
