The energy transition and the speed at which it is unfolding are at the core of my research. I am assessing barriers to the energy transition and how policy instruments can help overcoming them. Among these barriers are societal trade-offs, plurality of opinions, and lock-in effects. For example, I have assessed the trade-off between self-sufficiency and local landscape integrity, and then investigated how citizens resolve the choice.

In my work, I am applying state-of-the-art quantitative methods in the fields of energy system modelling, Bayesian probabilistic models, surrogate models, and high performance computing. 

I care about open, transparent, and reproducible research. To this end, I am applying methods derived from software engineering to produce high-quality scientific workflows.
