Dr Lee White was a Fellow with the Zero Carbon Energy in the Asia Pacific Grand Challenge program from 2019-2023, and is now a Visiting Fellow at RegNet. She earned her PhD at the University of Southern California’s Sol Price School of Public Policy, examining the impact of particular policy designs in terms of equity and the role that urban policy can play in supporting energy transition.

Her research is focused on climate and energy policy, with emphasis on how institutions and actors shape energy transition and whose interests are met or underserved by these outcomes. She has published in areas including predictors of rooftop solar and electric vehicle adoption, household response to demand management, and policies to govern emerging energy transition resources such as green hydrogen.
