Pankaj Kumar Email & Phone Number

I am an Energy researcher with expertise in energy systems models, electricity sector, low carbon transitions, and climate policy. I am interested in providing technology and policy based solutions for energy transitions through energy systems model based scenarios.I have over 10 years of research experience in creating large scale energy system models with high granularity. As a part of my PhD research, I developed a range of models to analyze low carbon operating strategies for fossil fuel dominated electricity systems. My research outputs have resulted in critical policy insights for the Indian power sector and have been presented at prestigious academic conferences and policy workshops.I am currently working as a Postdoctoral Researcher at QEERI under the Economics and Policy Program and my project here involves developing an energy system model for Qatar to provide insights into energy transitions for the State of Qatar.Research areas-Energy systems Modelling-Power sector modelling and unit commitment-Sustainable energy systems and policy trade-offs-Sectoral decarbonization strategies and roadmapsTechnical skills: Optimization, Techno-economic assessment of low carbon technologies, data analysis, energy modellingSoftwares: TIMES (MARKAL), Arc GIS, QGIS, EViews, Origin ProPlease feel free to reach out to me on my email ID (pankaj.iitb14@gmail.com)
