- Nearly all neurosurgeons in the United States will be named defendants in a malpractice claim before retirement. We perform an assessment of national malpractice trends in cranial neurosurgery to inform neurosurgeons on current outcomes, trends over time, benchmarks for malpractice coverage needs, and ways to mitigate lawsuits., Co-Author, From Operating Room to Courtroom: Analyzing Malpractice Trajectories in Cranial Neurosurgery, Neurosurgery, Healthcare, 2024
- The world is undergoing a global energy transition that will transform societies from fossil-fuel dependency towards clean energy solutions to meet future energy demand. An assumption is that nuclear energy, as a low-emissions energy source, could play a vital role in a clean, low-carbon future. Most reactors operating in the United States today are large custom-made reactors (LRs). Because of unfair risk- perceptions and the forced internalization of negative externalities, LRs and nuclear energy industry have long-struggled to compete with other energy sources. The deployment of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) make up for many of the inherent problems that exist in the traditional focus of the nuclear industry. SMRs offer technological advancements and potential opportunities to overcome certain obstacles of the dreaded licensing process that has hampered nuclear growth in the United States. In the context of the current energy transition and the problems of conventional reactors, the case for the deployment of SMRs presents an opportunity for the next nuclear renaissance in the United States., Author, Energy Transitions and the Future of Nuclear Energy: A Case for Small Modular Reactors, Washington Journal of Environmental Law and Policy, Washington Journal of Environmental Law & Policy, Nuclear, Energy, Energy Transition, Low Carbon, 2020
- Limiting global warming to 1.5°C and reaching net-zero carbon emissions by midcentury will require large-scale negative emissions technology such as carbon capture. Despite limited economic drivers such as the 45Q tax credit, CCS projects remainto a large extenteconomically unfeasible. A carbon price or other mechanism enabling costeffective investment into negative emissions technology is necessary to create a market that spurs investment in CCS projects. However, making carbon reduction technologies economic will likely require bipartisan congressional and state support that is difficult to achieve in an increasingly polarized political climate. CCS could garner bipartisan support because it is a climate change response that effectively deals with emissions from industry, but does not enforce radical changes in the industrys current energy matrix. Political barriersslow down policy progression, and by extension, the countrys ability to effectively combat climate change. However, state governments can also assist in developing CCS projects, and Texas is ideally situated to develop a carbon capture cluster around the American Gulf Coast. To jumpstart investments in CCS, the state of Texas should, at a minimum, clear the carbon capture industry of any current regulatory hurdles that are in existence. If the state wants to protect its oil and gas industry, it should commence policydriven action for large-scale CCS projects as soon as possible., Co-Author, Technology agnosticism and carbon capture: a practical effort against climate change in an era of polarized policymaking, Texas Environmental Law Journal (TELJ), Oil And Gas, Energy Transition, Low Carbon, carbon capture, 2023
