Research Areas

My research can be very briefly summarized as simulation-supported policy/strategy analysis. In line with this, my research interest involves both methodological aspects regarding modeling, and use of models in social studies, and contextual components where I apply the methodology in specific problem domains.

Methodological issues: 

• System dynamics
• Agent-based modelling
• Automated Model parametrization
• Validation of simulation models

Areas of application:

• Diffusion of innovations
• Strategic niche management
• Socio-technological transitions
• Energy and especially power systems
