Nik joined the Renewable Energy Systems group at the University of Geneva as a PhD student in February 2022. His research focuses on spatial statistical modelling and probabilistic projections of technology diffusion, specifically of granular energy technologies in Switzerland and Europe. Within the SWEET SURE project, his work further identifies technical, economic, and socio-political drivers for regional technology deployment across Switzerland and investigates the implications of weather-related shocks on the resilience of future designs of the Swiss energy system.
Prior to joining the group, Nik obtained a MSc in mechanical engineering from ETH Zurich with focus on energy, management, and innovation. During his studies, he spent one semester at the Technical University of Denmark to specialize in data science and energy systems and earned the Master Label Certificate of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology.
