Background
- Research interests include decentralized multi-energy systems, particularly in residential buildings and urban environments. Focuses on developing and applying energy system models (ESMs) and conducting techno-economic and environmental analysis to address various research questions related to the uptake and integration of low carbon technologies (LCTs). One area of work is focused on deriving cost-potential curves for these LCTs, while another examines how consumer behavior shapes energy demand patterns. Another focus is on the critical analysis of autonomous energy systems.
