Solomon Hsiang served on the inaugural steering committee at the Kavli Center while Chancellor's Professor of Public Policy at the University of California, Berkeley. Professor Hsiang is currently a Professor of Global Environmental Policy at the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability.
He directs the Global Policy Laboratory at Stanford University (formerly at UC Berkeley), where his team is integrating econometrics, spatial data science, and machine learning to answer questions that are central to rationally managing planetary resources--such as the economic value of the global climate, how the UN can fight wildlife poaching, the effectiveness of treaties governing the oceans, and whether satellites and AI can be combined to monitor the entire planet in real time.
