Biography
Simon Davidsson Kurland holds an M.Sc. in Energy Systems Engineering and a Ph.D. in Natural Resources and Sustainable Development from Uppsala University. After postdoctoral research at Stanford University and Chalmers University of Technology he returned to Uppsala University as a Senior Lecturer in Energy Transition at Campus Gotland.
His research interests involves various aspects of large-scale energy transitions, including:
- pathways to sustainable energy systems,
- raw material use and availability for clean energy technology, and
- life cycle assessment and net energy analysis.
Simon Davidsson Kurland is a part of a team proposing the formation of a new discipline and community for researchers working with large-scale energy systems, Macro-Energy Systems.
