Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCora Kingdon is a PhD student and researcher at UC Berkeley with roughly a decade of experience at the intersection of environmental economics, climate policy, and software development. She studies climate adaptation under deep uncertainty while contributing engineering work to influential open-source modeling tools—most notably Mimi.jl used by integrated assessment models—and analytics platforms like Cal-Adapt. Her background spans applied policy work on the Social Cost of Carbon, energy-efficiency program evaluation, and large-scale data analysis of household surveys, giving her a rare blend of empirical, policy, and technical expertise. Comfortable in Python, Julia, and data-focused workflows, she translates complex climate science into decision-ready tools for federal agencies and research partners. Equally grounded in sustainable agriculture and community-facing work, she brings both systems-level modeling skills and field-level practical experience to climate resilience projects.
