After having completed my Masters from Stanford University in Energy Systems, Combustion, and Chemical Thermodynamics, I decided to try something new but still related to my original field of research, energy. I have been a visiting researcher at CEU since July studying energy efficiency in buildings and primarily focused on energy efficiency modeling scenarios for UNEP and GEA.
