As a Senior Research Advisor and Coordinator at the Copenhagen School of Energy Infrastructure (CSEI), I work at the intersection of research, industry, and policy to drive the European energy transition forward. With extensive experience in strategic development, stakeholder management, and energy policy advisory, I contribute to the design of sustainable and innovative energy systems. My expertise within energy includes topics like energy infrastructure, sector coupling, digitalization, and economic regulation. I have coordinated multiple EU- and nationally funded research projects and built a strong network within the European energy sector. Through my involvement in funding committees and innovation platforms such as Energy Cluster Denmark, I help bridge the gap between research and industry. To translate research into tangible solutions that accelerate technological innovation and inform policy decisions creating societal impact is one of the major scopes of my work. With a deep understanding of interdisciplinary collaboration and regulatory frameworks, I am committed to ensuring that Denmark and Europe remain at the forefront of the green transition.Ìý
