Salvador Meneses is a Fulbright scholar from Mexico, currently pursuing a PhD in Sustainability at Arizona State University. He holds a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics and a Master’s in Environmental Economics from CIDE, a distinguished Mexican think tank specializing in public policy.
Originally from the sunny southeast of Mexico, Salvador bridges the gap between government institutions and the scientific community through his diverse experience as a sustainability researcher, consultant, and former public official. His research explores the drivers and barriers of intermunicipal collaboration for urban service provision, particularly in the context of climate action and metropolitan governance.
As an activist, he has championed zero-waste initiatives across Mexico, empowering local governments with sustainable waste management strategies. Before joining ASU, he led the Investment Unit for Campeche’s state government and served as a strategic advisor for Mexico City’s Sustainability and Climate Change office.
Currently, he channels the scars of public service into models with suspiciously well-behaved cities, blending qualitative, quantitative, and computational approaches—plus a growing fascination with AI tools—as he tries to make sense of how decision makers behave, one simulation at a time.
