Nathan Phillips is a Professor in the Department of Earth and Environment and Director of the Sustainable Neighborhood Lab. He is also a Faculty Affiliate of the Center for Information and 系统工程 and Faculty Affiliate of the Institute for Sustainable Energy at Boston University.

His research focuses on physiological mechanisms that regulate water, carbon, and energy exchanges between plants/ecosystems and the environment, especially in the context of environmental change. More recently, this research has been translated to studies of the ecology “in cities”, and the ecology “of cities”, in an interdisciplinary research program called “Urban Metabolism” supported by the National Science Foundation and Boston University’s Sustainable Neighborhood Laboratory.
