Field of work
Negar is currently a university lecturer at the University of Applied Sciences in Western Norway.
She holds a bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering and two master's degrees in Transportation Engineering and Climate Change Management. In her PhD research, Negar examines the role of external impacts in transitions by investigating the interaction between ports and the sectoral, territorial, and technological contexts that influence them. Specifically, she aims to understand the synergy and competition between hydrogen and other low-carbon solutions within these contexts, as well as the ports' capacity to accommodate a tailored set of climate-friendly technology value chains. Importantly, she focuses on the transition to green maritime practices, particularly within Norwegian small- and medium-sized ports, through the lens of responsible innovation
