Roger conducting Executive Training, from IFP brochure
 
I've taught at the Institut Français du Pétrole (IFP) in Rueil-Malmaison, France since 1989, making a summertime visit to Paris every year (that my family just loves!)

I teach French graduate students in the Cycle Economie et Gestion de L'Enterprise, and international students in the Petroleum Economics and Management Program.

I also give an overview lecture addressing important trends in environmental management for IFP's flagship 'Mini-MBA in Energy Management for Executives' program every year, and have done so since 1991.

I'm a Senior Fellow in the Wharton School's Initiative for Global Environmental Leadership (IGEL) program, and previously held joint appointments as Adjunct Professor in the City and Regional Planning and Systems Engineering Departments at the University of Pennsylvania.

I started teaching there as a graduate student in the early 1980s and taught a wide range of courses over twenty-five years, addressing such topics as energy technologies and resource economics -- but most of my courses addressed various aspects of environmental management. I also taught courses in the Masters of Environmental Studies program, focusing on energy for sustainable development.

 Other important teaching and training efforts:

Taught and lectured at universities in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, South America, and the Caribbean.

Directed or participated in more than a dozen technical training programs around the world, for UNDESA, UNIDO, UNDP, USAID, the World Bank, etc.

Directed a four month international training program at Penn in 1994 in Energy Planning and Policy. That course brought in 28 executives from 15 countries, and was funded by US AID.
