about me

Welcome to my website!

I am an applied energy economist and policy analyst with a strong background and more than 15 years of experience applying economics and operational research methods to energy and climate policy questions. I graduated from the University of Cambridge with an MPhil in Technology Policy (2007) and a PhD in Energy Economics and Policy (2011). My PhD was concerned with modelling Gazprom’s pipeline investment strategy in the context of Russo-Ukrainian bilateral relations. Before my graduate studies at Cambridge University, I worked as a research assistant at the Ukrainian National Academy of Sciences (Kyiv).
