Overview

I am Professor of Practice - Sustainable Transitions at Loughborough University (LU). From Aug. 2008 until Jul. 2024, I was Professor at the Universiy of Costa Rica. I have led over 30 international projects worldwide in areas such as energy systems, climate change, decarbonisation, power systems, and others. I worked as a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Network Integration of Electric Vehicles at the University of Manchester (UoM), UK. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering received from the UCR and a PhD in Electrical & Electronic Engineering from UoM. I co-authored over 100 research papers (list of publications and Research Gate) in peer-reviewed top-class international journals and conferences, 25+ technical reports, and the co-inventor of one patent filed by UoM.

Research Interest

While working on various projects within the area of integrated assessment modelling , the following are my main research interests:

Data-to-Deal
Energy system planning and investment under uncertainty
Integrated multi-energy systems
Techno-economic modelling of energy systems

Below are short videos showing the work I have led over the last five years.
