Summary
Soheil Shayegh is a multidisciplinary climate economist and researcher with 11 years of experience bridging energy economics, climate policy, and applied data science. Currently directing CMCC’s Industrial and Planetary Carbon Cycle program in Milan, he builds interdisciplinary teams to translate climate science into actionable policy and socioeconomic insights. His background spans academic and policy institutions—from Carnegie and Georgia Tech to RFF-CMCC and Bocconi—where he developed integrated assessment models, evaluated adaptation and geoengineering options, and designed climate policy analysis tools. Skilled in machine learning and big-data analytics, he brings quantitative rigor to complex, policy-relevant problems and routinely combines technical modeling with stakeholder-focused translation. Not obvious from titles alone, he has a hands-on engineering foundation and project leadership history dating back to construction and R&D management, which informs his pragmatic approach to delivering cross-disciplinary solutions.
