Professor Robert Marks
Originally an engineer, Robert Marks has been researching energy issues for over thirty years.

His current work includes (with post-doc Tony Lawrance) investigations into the structure and evolution of the Australian black-coal industry, as well as the application of computer simulations to understanding how energy markets work. He is the General Editor of the Australian Journal of Management, and was a foundation academic at the late, lamented Australian Graduate School of Management. He has been a visitor at Stanford, UC Berkeley, and the MIT Energy Lab. He is a professor in the School of Economics, and a member of the CO2 CRC.
