Christie Haupert joins ACEP as Anchorage project manager
September 24, 2020
Christie Haupert has joined UAF's Alaska Center for Energy and Power as the Anchorage project manager. While not an energy expert, Haupert does have a background in research science and project management. She served as the inaugural technician and manager of the Environmental Data Center based at the Toolik Field Station (operated and managed by UAF's Institute of Arctic Biology), spent a decade working as a project manager for the National Science Foundation's Arctic Research Support and Logistics Services, and most recently worked as a research coordinator for the U.S. Arctic Research Commission.
Haupert will help coordinate data, create deliverables and outreach products, and develop stakeholder relationships for the Solar Technologies Program, the Data Collection and Analysis Program and the emerging electric vehicle research efforts.
Although based in Anchorage, Haupert and her partner, Matias Saari, also have a cabin in Fairbanks near Murphy Dome. They enjoy returning to Fairbanks as often as possible, spend much of their free time on trails or up on a mountain ridge. They have a sprint husky, Hillie, from Rooster Tail Kennel in Fairbanks. Named after the mountaineering book “Freedom of the Hills,” Hillie challenges them each day to get outside and run fast.
