Dr Christian Calvillo Munoz

Senior Research Fellow

Centre for Energy Policy

Personal statement

I am an early career researcher, with a strong interest on the energy transition. I have expertise on energy system models, and the analysis of energy efficiency and the decarbonisation of heat and transport.

I have a strong international background and extensive collaborative networks. For example, I have completed my PhD as a part of the Erasmus Mundus Joint Doctorate on Sustainable Energies Technologies and Strategies (SETS), with studies developed in Spain, Sweden and the Netherlands.

My current career objective is to continue to develop high quality research and collaborative work, and to keep developing my skills to become a successful academic.
