Sergio Tirado Herrero

Sergio Tirado (Madrid, 1978) is a researcher at the Center for Climate Change and Sustainable Energy Policy (3CSEP) and PhD candidate of the Environmental Sciences and Policy at Central European University (CEU) in Budapest. Under the supervision Prof. Diana urge-Vorsatz, my doctoral research focuses on fuel poverty alleviation as a co-benefit of residential energy efficiency in Hungary. Currently I am also coordinating a project on the climate and energy aspects of the 'Europe 2020' strategy for the Hungarian National Development Agency and I have contributed as researcher to a study on the employment impacts of a large-scale deep energy retrofit programme of the building stock in Hungary.

Prior to that, I worked as a research assistant and project coordinator in the Environmental Research Economics Group at the University of Alcala (Madrid, Spain) directed by Prof. Diego Azqueta Oyárzun. There I gained extensive research and applied research management experience in the environmental economics field through a number of projects for key national and international partners such as the Spanish Ministry of Environment, the Spanish Energy Agency or the Inter-American Development Bank.

I hold a Bsc (equiv.) in Environmental Sciences and a Diploma of Advanced Studies (MSc. equiv.) with a specialization on environmental economics both from the University of Alcala (Madrid, Spain).
