Science
NGInfratrends Conference (19 May 2011): See me in action in a workshop in the video (on the top) on the right.
Article: "Agent-based modelling of energy infrastructure transitions" in the International Journal of Critical Infrastructures (vol 6 nr 2). This article gives an outline of the theoretical framework developed for my PhD project on simulation models of energy transitions. Three examples are given in which the framework is adopted. The paper is accessible here and is published by Inderscience.
Book: the book Energy and Innovation, in which I wrote chapter 10: Transition Management in Energy: Design and evaluation of transitions using a suitable framework. This book chapter contains a preliminary version of the theory I developed during in my PhD research check out this book at Purdue University Press (also for sale at amazon.com and bol.com).
