Knoll Chair and Professor, Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences	Todd began his professional career as a submarine officer in the U.S. Navy where he learned the practical applications of operating a nuclear power plant as well as how to take a submarine to periscope depth. Following active duty, he built on that practical Navy experience by earning a Ph.D. in nuclear engineering with specific focus on how radiation changes the physical properties of metals.His first post-Ph.D. position was as a staff scientist at Argonne National Laboratory. While at Argonne, he joined the leadership team tasked with developing the Generation IV Roadmap, the document that framed the resurgence of the nuclear research programs early in the 21st Century.Following Argonne, he joined the faculty at the University of Wisconsin. While there, he split his time between establishing a premier material science program at the university and supporting the Idaho National Laboratory. At INL, he led the transition of the Advanced Test Reactor into a national user facility. He also ran a six-institution Energy Frontier Research Center focused on answering fundamental questions about heat transfer in nuclear fuel.From 2013-2016, he helped lead the Idaho National Laboratory as the Deputy Laboratory Director for Science & Technology, including being an important contributor to the development of the Gateway for Accelerated Innovation in Nuclear (GAIN) initiative announced at the White House in November 2015. Since 2016 he has been a Visiting Senior Fellow with Clean Energy Program at Third Way, a Washington, DC based think tank.He is the author of over 200 technical publications. He is a Fellow of the American Nuclear Society. Todd has degrees in nuclear engineering and management information systems. He is a native of Michigan.		Todd Allen (umich.edu)

He received his Ph.D. in chemical engineering in 2018 from the University of Minnesota with a thesis entitled “Enabling distributed renewable energy and chemical production through process systems engineering” under the guidance of Professor Prodromos Daoutidis. He received a B.S. with high honors in chemical engineering in 2013 from Penn State University. His research interests include developing theory and methods for the optimal design, control, planning, and scheduling of chemical and energy systems. He is particularly interested in applications that support sustainable water and energy usage and in decision making over multiple time scales. Professor Allman’s research team focuses on identifying and exploiting the structure and sparsity inherent in the mathematical models underlying chemical, energy, and biological systems to enable computationally efficient decision making. Current theoretical areas of interest include (1) identifying easy-to-solve subproblems within large, complex optimization problems, (2) developing new solution approaches which better exploit a given problem’s structure, (3) enhancing data-driven decision-making methods through a priori dimensionality reduction in data collection, and (4) reducing the complexity of many-objective optimization problems by identifying subsets of objectives which have the strongest tradeoffs.

He is jointly appointed between the School for Environment & Sustainability, and the Ross School of Business. Joe is an internationally recognized expert in the risk and decisions sciences; his research has two main areas of emphasis: First, Joe and his research group conduct experiments focused on advancing our understanding of how people process information and make decisions, with a specific emphasis on how people make tradeoffs. Second, Joe and his team conduct research focused on developing and testing decision-aiding tools and approaches that can be used by people to improve decision quality across a wide range of environmental, social, and economic contexts. Joe’s research is applied, and accounts for decision-making by a broad spectrum of public and stakeholder groups, as well as by technical experts, business leaders, and policy makers. His work also focuses on choices made by people individually, and when working in groups. Likewise, he conducts his research across a wide range of contexts, ranging from environmental risk management, to consumer choice and policy-making. In addition to Joe’s academic work, he is a member of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Chartered Science Advisory Board, and is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences’ Board on Environmental Change and Society.
