Dr. Anastasis Giannousakis

Postdoktorand
Giannousakis
I am contributing to PIK's research as a guest Energy Modeler and Research Software Engineer, applying novel methods for tackling uncertainties in climate policy design and optimizing the algorithms used for the solution of large scale models. I am a chemical engineer by training, specialized in numerical methods, applied mathematics and climate change economics.
