Scenario Analyst, Senior Researcher (scenarios)

I'm a scenario analyst, focusing on co-design and development of strategies and scenarios to achieve resilience, looking at both short and long term. In line with today's environmental research priorities and needs, I learnt to develop, combine and apply a range of methods which stem from both natural and social science to explore future scenarios. Co-designing and co-developing research with those using our scientific findings facilitates impact of research in the real world. Bridging between top-down and bottom-up analyses, and I'm still involved in the regional implementation within the SSP scenario community, which I maintain between WUR, SEI and UKCEH in particular. I'm also part of the Archetype of Sustainability network and Scientific Advisor in several EU Research Projects. Currently, I work as WP lead within the CASTOR project, co-supervising Emad Farnezagan. I also work as Principal Investigator within the “European Topic Centre on Climate Change Adaptation and LULUCF” (ETC-CA), co lead author of Chapter 2 of the first European Climate Risk Assessment (EUCRA). 

Improving relevance of future environmental scenarios is still my main research question and I'm keen to get in touch to improve methods and applications worldwide. Based in Stockholm (Sweden), working in Wageningen (the Netherlands).
