Team member of OpenEnergy, which hosts http://energy.publicdata.eu – for easy multidimensional analysis of energy policy.

Originally studied at United World College in Hong Kong, then Economics at Cambridge, afterwards European Master of Law and Economics. Experience regarding energy and environment issues stems from economic perspectives but also from a good bit of work with environmental organisations since 1999; in China, Germany and UK.
Particular interest in economically feasible approaches to Eco-Social Market Economy. Very much believing in the necessity of much more active academic North-South collaboration; therefore previous coordinator of Common Future e.V., a network which organised parallel video-conferences in 10 cities across traditional North South divides to jointly launch a journal with climate policy solutions, presented at UNFCCC COP15. Currently working as Visiting Scholar at the IMF on environmental taxes.
