Xi Wang is a Master of Science student in the Environmental Studies (ENVS) program at University of Colorado-Boulder. She is also a group member at the Center for Science & Technology Policy Research (CSTPR), which is part of the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES). Xi is focusing on examining resource use in the context of energy. She is particularly interested in understanding the interactions among actors across societal sectors--scientists, policy makers, industry, and the public--which challenge large-scale transitions to renewable energy use.

Prior to ENVS, Xi worked as a strategy and technology consultant at Booz Allen Hamilton in Washington, D.C. While there, she also engaged in social, food, and environmental justice activism. Xi has also worked at the Monterey Bay Aquarium as an environmental stewardship guide, and spent summers in southern Spain and Ecuador on organic and subsistence farms. Xi earned a B.A. in English from Cornell University. She has left bits of her heart and common sense in all of the above mentioned places.
