Biography

Research Interests

The aim of my research agenda is to bridge the gap between energy technologies developments and policy design through innovative methods of systems analysis. That includes lifecycle and systems analysis of fuel production and utilization, fuel design formulation, hydrogen economy, and sustainable transition to new technologies
