Arbeids- og kompetanseområde
I am a professor in energy economics and a Distinguished Fellow at the Schumacher Institute for Sustainable Systems, Bristol, UK. I am a member of the board of the Joint Program "e3s - Economic, Environmental and Social Impacts of the Energy Transition" of the European Energy Research Alliance (EERA), and I lead the sub-program on 'Data science and artificial intelligence" of the EERA Joint Program 'Digitalization of energy'.
Personal background: I am an energy economist with experience in first-principle models, energy system modeling, and empirical analysis of coupled human-nature systems in the context of climate change and sustainable development.
