Matt Chester is a subject matter expert in the energy industry, particularly as it relates to energy policy, efficiency technologies and initiatives, and the clean energy transition. Matt studied mechanical engineering at the University of Virginia, where he decided that helping the energy field make the necessary changes to prevent climate change was the best use of his technical background. He also runs a blog and consultancy on all of these issues, Chester Energy and Policy, where he frequently seeks to take technologically and politically complex energy issues and break them down so they’re understandable by technical and non-technical audiences alike. When not putting his data analysis powers to use fighting for clean energy, Matt tries to use data analysis in the world of fantasy sports– but let’s just hope he’ll be more successful in aiding the energy transition than he is in bringing home fantasy football trophies.
