Marilyn A. Brown

Marilyn A. Brown is a Regents' and Brook Byers Professor of Sustainable Systems in the School of Public Policy at the Georgia Institute of Technology. She joined Georgia Tech in 2006 after 22 years at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, where she held various leadership positions. Her work was cited by President Clinton as providing the scientific justification for signing the 1997 Kyoto Protocol. With Eric Hirst, she coined the term "energy efficiency gap" and pioneered research to highlight and quantify the unexploited economic potential to use energy more productively.

Brown was elected to both the National Academy of Engineering and the National Academy of Sciences in 2020 for bridging engineering, social and behavioral sciences, and policy studies to achieve cleaner and more resilient electric power and more affordable and equitable energy services. In 2023 she was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Few scientists belong to all three of these prestigious institutions. Provided by Wikipedia
