Research supervision is a central part of my academic activity. I supervise doctoral research at the intersection of energy economics, industrial organization, infrastructure regulation and operations research.
My current and former doctoral researchers have worked on natural gas markets, electricity-market design, hydrogen, carbon capture and storage, carbon dioxide removal and flexibility in low-carbon power systems. Many of these projects have led to joint publications in leading journals in energy economics, environmental policy and operations research.
