Kim Mueller

Kim Mueller is a Senior Fellow with the Data Foundation's Climate Data Collaborative and an internationally recognized expert in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions measurement, modeling, and standardization. She holds a Ph.D. in environmental engineering from the University of Michigan. Active in carbon-cycle research since her Ph.D., she works towards making measurement science at local to regional scales foundational to carbon reporting by integrating atmospheric observations, energy use, socioeconomic data, and biospheric modeling to produce high-resolution, observation-informed emissions estimates. She is the lead author of the World Meteorological Organization’s Integrated Global Greenhouse Gas Information System (IG3IS) best-practice guidelines and has contributed to national and international efforts to standardize measurement science techniques.

Mueller's career includes senior science-policy roles at the Science and Technology Policy Institute and as a Congressional Science Fellow on the U.S. House Natural Resources Committee, working at the interface of scientific analysis, federal programs, and policy development.
