En­vir­on­ment­al Eco­nom­ics
My re­search in­terests in­clude the eco­nom­ic and policy links between en­ergy, en­vir­on­ment, so­ci­ety, and re­source use.
En­ergy in De­vel­op­ing Coun­tries
My re­search in­terests in­clude en­ergy ac­cess, en­ergy mar­kets, en­vir­on­ment­al is­sues, and so­cio-eco­nom­ic as­pects of en­ergy in de­vel­op­ing coun­tries.

Why I re­search and study En­ergy Eco­nom­ics

Energy is arguably the largest industry in the world and the most important one for our economies and societies to prosper. Th energy sector is changing at a fast pace, and economic research can have a positive impact on this transformation at many levels. 

My research in energy economics focuses on key economic, environmental, resource, societal, and policy aspects of how we produce, transport, and distribute, and consume our energy.
