Education

  • Ph.D. (Civil & Environmental Engineering, Engineering & Public Policy); Carnegie Mellon University, 2007
  • MS (Civil & Environmental Engineering); Carnegie Mellon University, 2004
  • BS (Electrical & Computer Engineering, Engineering & Public Policy); Carnegie Mellon University, 1998

Professional Interests

Dr. Marriott’s work involves researching the environmental, social and economic impacts of energy production and use; current and future electricity generation, transmission and distribution technologies; full supply chain life-cycle assessment of energy systems; hybrid life-cycle inventory and assessment methods; social & policy implications of life-cycle results.

Several of Dr. Marriott's specific research topics include:

  • economic input-output analysis
  • hybrid life-cycle assessment
  • environmental and economic impacts of energy and electricity generation
  • fossil & nuclear power generation life-cycles
  • renewable and future energy generation methods
