Recent presentations and publications

Gustav Resch joined the Energy Economics Group in 2000. He holds a degree in electrical engineering (Energy Technology) and a PhD in energy economics at Vienna University of Technology. He is working since several years as senior researcher in the area of energy policy and energy modelling with a focus on renewable energy technologies - responsible for research, project acquisition and scientific coordination.

His fields of activity include potential and cost assessment of (renewable) energy technologies, evaluation and design assessment of energy policy instruments and energy modelling (focusing on policy interactions and technology dynamics).
