BIO
Annalise Klein is a program architect overseeing strategic design, collaboration, and implementation across ACEP programming. Her focus is to engage in the nexus of emerging energy technologies and human factors that influence successful energy transitions in rural communities.
Klein is currently developing strategic, scalable knowledge networks and new initiatives for diverse community stakeholders, industry and research through the Energy Innovation Network for the Alaska Regional Collaboration for Technology Innovation and Commercialization (ARCTIC) program. She is also working on crafting strategies to de-silo energy initiatives across Alaska鈥檚 statewide partnerships and international collaborations in the Circumpolar North and Pacific Rim and on program development for the ACEP Undergraduate Summer Internship (AUSI) program.
She holds B.A.s in chemistry and English from Hope College and an M.S. in secondary science education from Johns Hopkins University. A public school science teacher for six years in Hawaii and California, Klein was awarded a 2019 Fulbright Distinguished Award in Teaching Research Program to develop best practices in culturally-responsive and STEM-project-based learning at a rural Ugandan boarding school serving 1,200 students.
Outside of work, Klein enjoys making things, such as socks, quilts, jazz riffs, or the latest Great British Bake Off technical challenge.
