Darius Dixon is an energy reporter for POLITICO Pro. He covers the Department of Energy, nuclear power and the electric grid.

For E&E Publishing's ClimateWire, he covered energy technology. Dixon has also interned for Wired magazine and was a fact checker for The Nation.

He is an engineering alum of Carnegie Mellon and the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, earning two master's degrees from the latter. Dixon’s master’s degrees are in materials science and geology, which he earned by studying radioactive waste — crossing the country twice and traveling the Ring Road of Iceland. To spice things up, he applied to the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism and, yes, completed another master's.

Dixon comes from a long line of New Yorkers, even though he doesn't have the accent.
