Paul J. Meier, P.E., Ph.D.

Paul Meier has over 20 years of experience in energy sector analysis, air quality research, and decision-support technology.

His work has consistently transformed energy and environmental data into actionable information. He has developed and co-developed multiple decision support tools, including for electric utility planning, heavy duty freight emissions analysis, and transportation fuel-cycle assessment. 

Meier is the founder of JuiceBox software, which accelerates energy resource planning using the principals of networked multi-user games, making possible "local-to-global" analysis of low-emission energy futures. Meier was the Director of Engineering for Blumont Engineering Solutions from 2016 - 2018. His work included evaluating power-sector emission projection methodologies on behalf of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and assisting the Massachusetts Institute of Technology study on The Future of Nuclear Energy in a Carbon-Constrained World. In 2017 and 2018, USEPA contracted for JuiceBox software to evaluate its use as a stakeholder accessible modeling platform. Paul previously served as a scientist at the University of Wisconsin—Madison from 2006 -2016, including as Director of the UW Energy Institute from 2006 – 2012. His research focused on air quality and climate impacts for national-scale technology and infrastructure pathways. 

Meier has environmental engineering degrees from Purdue University and Clemson University and earned his Doctorate from the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. He is a licensed professional engineer.
