Washington, D.C.--Good Energy Collective is pleased to announce that Lisa Marshall will be joining its Senior Fellows Program, bringing over 20 years of experience in engineering education and nuclear workforce development to the role.
As a Senior Fellow, Lisa will support Good Energy Collective's social license research, helping to advance the foundational science of community engagement to yield more effective stakeholder processes for energy infrastructure. Her work will draw on her extensive background in bridging technical expertise and social science perspectives to cultivate broader participation in energy transitions.
Lisa serves as Executive Board Member and 70th President of the American Nuclear Society (ANS). She chairs the ANS Special Committee on STEM Education and is an executive member of the North Carolina Nuclear Advisory Council. Lisa holds the position of Assistant Extension Professor at North Carolina State University, where she serves as the inaugural Director of Outreach, Retention, and Engagement in the Department of Nuclear Engineering and leads the NEO Research Group, which focuses on engagement and inclusion in STEM and nuclear science.
Her research spans community engagement for collaboration-based siting, workforce development, and the intersection of energy geography with nuclear technology. She serves on multiple international advisory bodies, including the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency Council of Advisers, and she chairs the Nuclear Energy Agency’s Global Forum Working Group on Building a Pipeline of STEM Professionals.
"Lisa has spent her career integrating technical expertise with community-centered methodologies, and her leadership in nuclear workforce is widely recognized,” said Erik Funkhouser, Executive Director of Good Energy Collective. "We look forward to bringing her unique skillset to bear on elevating the social science of community engagement, particularly at this moment when it is so critical to effectively deploying energy infrastructure and supporting our nation’s workforce.”
Lisa holds a master's degree in energy geography from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and graduate certificates in Geospatial Information Science and Engineering Education from North Carolina State University, where she is now nearing completion of her doctoral degree in higher education, with a focus on engineering.
