Biography and Expertise
Charles (Charlie) Stanier works at the intersection of energy systems, air quality, and atmospheric chemistry, applying more than 25 years of industrial and academic experience to contemporary decarbonization and energy‑efficiency challenges. Formerly a Professor of Chemical Engineering at the University of Iowa, he remains active as a collaborator and reviewer in atmospheric chemistry, aerosol processes, and air‑quality research while consulting full-time on commercial and industrial energy and carbon management.
His scholarly background includes laboratory investigation, field sampling, and computational modeling of air pollution, ultrafine particles, greenhouse gases, energy systems, and the carbon cycle. These methods inform applied work in energy auditing, solar PV and storage assessment, low‑carbon fuels, and measurement and verification (M&V) for efficiency programs.
Interests
- Energy efficiency, decarbonization pathways, and carbon management
- Atmospheric chemistry, aerosols, and air quality -- especially as co-benefits to climate mitigation
- Atmospheric chemistry and fate of trace chemicals, especially siloxanes
