Experience
-
Software Developer, Thünen Institute - Rostock
August 2020 - March 2021
▪ Built, tested, and debugged the source code of a new data entry program in Python (tools: pyQT5, psycopg2).
▪ Supported IT-admin in migrating databases from MySQL to PostgreSQL.
-
Research Associate, Industrial Ecology - University of Freiburg
January 2017 - July 2020
▪ Calculated the environmental footprints of German household groups (using EXIOBASE) and assessed the distributional implications of global-level carbon tax based on price signal in Python (Monte-Carlo simulation).
▪ Modelled dynamic translog cost functions (GMM method) to estimate elasticities of substitution across sectors and to obtain the appropriate level of sector aggregation in R as the basis for a new translog-based CGE model.
▪ Assessed the distributional implications and quantified the additional revenues associated with an import-only border carbon adjustment (BCA) for 4,400 material-intensive commodity groups (collaborating with DIW Berlin).
▪ Co-taught an MSc level course on Environmentally-Extended Multi-Regional Input-Output (MRIO) Databases.
-
Visiting Scholar, Earth Institute - Columbia University
December 2015 - February 2016
▪ Prepared questionnaire to gather public perception on Urban Sustainability Indicators (USIs) in Henan, China.
▪ Conducted statistical analysis (Chi-square tests, t-tests and Spearman’s rank correlation tests) in R to assess correlation between socio-demographic attributes and public perception of urban sustainability and USIs.
-
Research Student, DCEA Aalborg
August 2015 - November 2015
▪Generated extensions matrix of social life cycle (S-LCA) inventories of labor-related impacts into EXIOBASE.
▪Collected 27,700 inventories of selected indicators from ILOSTAT database (129 sectors in 43 countries) and conducted appropriate linear regression and disaggregation procedures using R and Excel for unavailable data.
▪Modelled impact pathways from inventories into social impact categories in QALY (Quality-Adjusted Life Years).
