Ari RABL Dr. Rabl was (until his retirement in 2007, obligatory at 65) Senior Scientist at the Centre Energétique et Procédés of the Ecole des Mines in Paris. He is continuing as consultant for government and industry, and in particular for the Ecole des Mines in collaboration with his old colleagues of the Centre Energétique et Procédés. He received a PhD
in physics from Berkeley, and worked at Argonne
National Laboratory and at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
From 1980 to 1989 he
was Research Scientist and Lecturer at the Center for Energy and
Environmental Studies of
Princeton University. He has published over 130 articles in
peer-reviewed journals or books,
and a comparable number of conference presentations, as well as ten
patents. He is the
author of the book Active Solar Collectors and Their Applications
and co-author of
the book Heating
and Cooling of
Buildings: Design for Efficiency. He has coordinated several
multinational
research projects of the EC. He is a member of the Society for Risk
Analysis, the International Society of Environmental Epidemiology, the
Federation of American Scientists, and the American Physical Society. After many years
of research on energy (especially solar energy and energy
conservation), since 1992 the focus of his work has
shifted to the assessment of environmental impacts.
The goal is to provide decision makers in government and industry with
the best possible information about costs and benefits of environmental
protection. His research concerns the methodology
for the quantification of environmental damages and costs ("external
costs") as well as various applications,
in particular energy, transport and waste treatment. For this work
which is extremely multidisciplinary he benefits from a broad
professional experience and from numerous contacts and collaborations
with colleagues in disciplines such as atmospheric modeling,
epidemiology and environmental economics (as can be seen from the list
of his publications). In particular he collaborated, until her death in
2006, with his wife Brigitte Desaigues
who was professor at the Sorbonne with specialty of environmental economics. tel: portable: (33.6.) 3263.0431; Home: (33.1) 6928.0694 (France)
