FULL BIO
I live in Denmark since 2002 and I have a Master’s Degree in Technological and Socio-Economic Planning (TEKSAM) combined with Philosophy and History of Science at Roskilde University Centre. During my studies I have gathered experience regarding the management of innovation systems in the area of renewable and conventional energy technologies, the technical and socio-economic analyses of selected energy systems, energy planning and energy and climate policy analyses.
I have experience in analyzing Danish and international energy policies. I have been working with environmental planning and gathering data regarding renewable energy technologies, conventional energy technologies and energy subsidies together with the assessment of environmental externalities. Likewise, I have been working with energy planning and energy strategies in Denmark, the Nordic countries and developing countries. I have experience in preparing background materials for energy-related projects at Ea Energy Analyses and at the research centre Risø/DTU.
I worked in a technical assessment of the potentials and barriers of natural gas in Denmark and its application in the Danish energy system in 2020 and 2030 for Ea Energy Analyses. At Risø/DTU I finalized a project-based report concerning the manufacturing and market growth of selected renewable energy technologies in the Nordic countries in comparison with the rest of the world.
Nowadays, interested in the prospects and constraints of biomass as an energy resource, especially biowaste and forest-based (by-)products. Researching on e-waste and plastic recycling technologies and deliberating with colleagues, activists and friends about the ethical implications regarding the lack of reflexivity on modern societies about values shaping our current relationship with Nature.
