Before joining IESVic Aaron worked for the Canada Energy Regulator on climate and energy policy analysis to support long-term energy demand projections.

His master's research evaluated the effect of federal government climate policy on Canada's greenhouse gas emissions, with a focus on policy interactions.

His doctoral research involves assessing and explaining the effectiveness and acceptability of alternative climate policy pathways that are likely to hit Canada's greenhouse gas emissions targets.
