Bio:
William Boyd joined the University of Colorado Law School faculty in 2008. Professor Boyd received his Ph.D. from the Energy & Resources Group at UC-Berkeley and his J.D. from Stanford Law School, where he was an Articles Editor on the Stanford Law Review. After law school, Professor Boyd clerked for Judge Diana Gribbon Motz of the United State Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. Professor Boyd then served as American Association for the Advancement of Science Congressional Science Fellow and Counsel on the Democratic minority staff of the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment & Public Works. He then practiced energy, environmental and climate change law with the firm of Covington & Burling LLP in Washington DC. He continues to be actively involved in legislative and regulatory debates on energy and climate change at state, national, and international levels, and is currently advising policymakers in Brazil, Indonesia, and the United States on regulatory design issues associated with efforts to integrate terrestrial carbon into climate policy.
As a faculty member at the law school, Professor Boyd teaches energy law & regulation, climate change law & policy, and environmental law. His current research focuses on legal and institutional design issues associated with emerging GHG compliance markets; integration of forests and land use into climate policy; carbon accounting and verification systems for biofuels; regulatory challenges associated with implementation of smart grid technologies; electricity policy; technology transfer in the energy and climate fields; risk assessment; and the role of science and technology in law.
Since arriving at the University of Colorado, Professor Boyd has played an active role in establishing the new Renewable and Sustainable Energy Institute (RASEI) – a joint institute between the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and the University of Colorado, Boulder established in October 2009 -- serving on the campus-wide steering committee that recommended the creation of RASEI and as an inaugural fellow on the RASEI Council of Fellows. Professor Boyd also serves as the University of Colorado representative for the Joint Institute for Strategic Energy Analysis (JISEA) – a newly formed collaborative energy analysis effort between NREL, University of Colorado, Colorado State University, Colorado School of Mines, MIT, and Stanford.
