As Managing Director of IKEM, I oversee the institute’s strategic direction and promote innovative research and collaboration at the interface between law, business and technology, with a view to a sustainable future.
My work focuses on shaping the energy transition in the electricity sector, particularly the integration of renewable energy sources into the energy market. In this context, I am involved in the further development of the regulatory framework and in fostering links between academia, public administration and politics. I have particular expertise in the field of renewable energy, with a focus on photovoltaics and wind energy.
