Subject

Her research focus is energy scenarios and system analyses. In particular, this involves the analysis of the social aspects of the energy system, the analysis and creation of qualitative scenarios of energy transformation processes and the application of sociological theory for the construction of qualitative scenarios. She is also interested in the transparency of energy scenario studies and the methodological development of the Cross-Impact Balance analysis, especially in the context of quantitative energy scenarios.
