T S Gopi Rethinaraj joined the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy as Assistant Professor in July 2005. He received his PhD in nuclear engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Before coming to Singapore, he was involved in research and teaching activities at the Program in Arms Control, Disarmament and International Security, a multi-disciplinary teaching and research program at Illinois devoted to military and non-military security policy issues. His doctoral dissertation, “Modeling Global and Regional Energy Futures,” explored the intersection between energy econometrics, climate policy and nuclear energy futures.
He also worked as a science reporter for the Mumbai edition of The Indian Express from 1995 to 1999, and has written on science, technology, and security issues for various Indian and British publications. In 1999, he received a visiting fellowship from the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, Chicago, for the investigative reporting on South Asian nuclear security. His current teaching and research interests include energy security, climate policy, energy technology assessment, nuclear fuel cycle policies and international security.
