Her research explores how energy technologies and systems change as a function of investments in technological innovation, with a particular interest in understanding relationships between technology design and performance evolution. Klemun\u2019s research aims to enable more targeted climate innovation efforts, improve the availability of explanatory information about technology trends to enhance road mapping, engineering design, and policy development, and advance theories of technological change.<\/p>\n<p>Current research areas in her lab\u2014the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deploymentlab.org\/\">Deployment Lab\u00a0<\/a>\u2014focus on advancing data-driven frameworks to study the evolution of energy policies and technologies, including both hardware and \u201csoft technologies\u201d (the knowledge and codified practices used during processes of technology design, installation, permitting, community engagement, use, and end-of-life management); informing policies and technology design to accelerate industry decarbonization and manage the environmental impacts of advanced digitalization; and developing technology-level metrics to support sustainable development.
