Nicole Rosner is a Sociocultural Anthropologist and Behavioral and Social Science Lead in the Center for Integrated Mobility Sciences at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). At NREL, her research focuses on advancing and applying social science methods to support the development of more affordable, reliable, and resilient energy systems. She collaborates with local governments, communities, utilities, and organizations to inform energy decision-making, and develops sociotechnical methodologies that tailor energy systems to local contexts, needs, and realities. Before joining NREL, she spent two years at the University of Chicago as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Mansueto Institute for Urban Innovation and a Postdoctoral Scholar affiliated with the UChicago Department of Anthropology. Her overarching research examines the social dimensions of the built environment, technology, and risk across the Americas, particularly in Brazil, and more recently in Latinx communities in the United States.
