Research summary
AI-generated

Shan Zhou's research focuses on energy and environmental policy, particularly how renewable energy projects like wind, solar, and utility-scale installations are sited, regulated, and perceived by the public. Their work examines issues of fairness and equity in energy transitions, such as unequal access to solar power and disparities in where energy facilities are located, as well as how policy design and public engagement shape climate and renewable energy outcomes. Note that the publication list also includes several unrelated titles (e.g., on machine learning, cardiology, and epilepsy), which may reflect co-authorships, database mismatches, or interdisciplinary side projects rather than a core research focus.
