This article is part of the Athenaeum Tidal Series.

I am a professor of finance in the School of Business. Since 2011, I have been researching the cost of tidal energy, the economic impact of developing a tidal energy industry in Nova Scotia, and investment timing. Questions of environmental, social, and economic sustainability are top of mind in my research, as they are for my fellow researchers at the Acadia Tidal Energy Institute.
