Joanna Moody

MIT Energy Initiative

Research Program Manager

Joanna Moody is the Research Program Manager for MIT Energy Initiative's Mobility Systems Center and a lead researcher on one of the Center’s projects, which measures the "option value" (including convenience, flexibility, control, and status) that comes from owning a car separate from its use. More broadly, Joanna’s research uses econometrics and psychometrics in a structural equation modeling framework to explore the interactions among policies, perceptions, and individual travel decisions, with a particular focus on how new technologies and services may challenge the existing paradigm of privately-owned, gasoline-powered vehicle. Joanna holds Ph.D. (2019) and M.S. (2016) degrees in Transportation from MIT.

    Future of Mobility
    Mobility/Transportation

    Mobility is changing around the world, but not uniformly. Key countries and regions are shaping the future of EVs, ride-hailing, and driverless technology in pursuit of differing industrial, economic, security, and environmental drivers. We will discuss differences in key markets and how they could affect the future of mobility and the impact on the energy and automotive industries.

    Decarbonizing Transportation: What's doable?
    Mobility/Transportation Climate & Sustainability
    As populations and economies grow, the need to move people and goods will drive a significant increase in the demand for transportation. At the same time, regulatory and consumer pressure is forcing the passenger car, trucking, shipping, and aviation sectors to seriously consider how to decarbonize. How can these industries meet this sustainable growth challenge? Are there viable pathways to in-sector decarbonization? Will transportation sectors compete against each other for low carbon fuels, clean technologies, and capital?
