The energy transition requires a holistic view: both technical, in depth-knowledge and feeling for social and political processes are crucial. In my studies (a BSc in Future Planet Studies and an MSc in Earth Sciences) I have been trained to be the bridge between science and society. Then I worked as a policy advisor for Energy infrastructure in regional government.
At CE Delft I now employ both my substantive knowledge and familiarity with administrative processes in the sector Sustainable Cities. Here I translate the knowledge, model results and research insights produced by my colleagues into social and political practice.
