The Sustainable Infrastructure Hub is led by Sarah Davis.

Sarah Davis is a Professor of Environmental Studies in the Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Service at Ohio University, and is an expert in ecosystem ecology and bioenergy systems. Dr. Davis received a PhD in Biology from West Virginia University, where she studied the long-term response of forest carbon sequestration to nitrogen deposition and common harvesting practices. She continued her study of forest carbon balances and began researching bioenergy agro-ecosystems while in a post-doctoral position at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), and was then appointed in 2010 as a Bioenergy Analyst for the Energy Biosciences Institute, an interdisciplinary research program at UC Berkeley and UIUC. Dr. Davis joined the Voinovich School at Ohio University in 2013, and contributes to a new field of energy bioscience by exploring opportunities for land management that will simultaneously enhance ecosystem services and stimulate rural economies.
