About

I am deeply passionate about the energy transition and what it takes for countries to transition to an energy-mix that is less carbon intensive. Some topics of interest to me are the role of renewable energy in the energy transition and their integration. I also firmly believe in the importance of well-articulated research and how it helps laypeople understand what is happening in the world. My experience as a Materials Science and Engineering has given me the technical knowledge in photovoltaic systems and battery storage systems, which have served to help me better understand the challenges and exciting advancements in the world of renewables. I love hearing about new developments, and bouncing ideas about how current events influences them.
