He is particularly interest in policy coherence and the energy trilemma, i.e. balancing between ecological sustainability, competitiveness and security of supply, within energy policies and will do research on EU-wide energy policies, their intentions and implementation, during his one year at the BSoG. His supervisor during the stay is Sebastian Oberthür, Director of the 3E.
