Meiken Hansen:
Meiken
Hansen is a Post-Doctoral researcher at DTU Management Engineering, Technical
University of Denmark. In the general fields of STS studies, her work has
focused on the energy area and the transition towards a greener energy sector.
Her previous work investigated the role of household consumers in smart grid
experimental projects, as to assess how users are integrated in development
activities. Currently, her research explores stakeholder and citizen
involvement in scenario planning processes in the Danish transport and energy
sector in collaboration with the Danish Board of Technology Foundation.

Jay Sterling Gregg:
Jay
Sterling Gregg has a background in energy, energy modeling, and sustainable
urban systems. Jay Sterling Gregg serves as the project co-lead. He is
responsible for coordinating the incorporation of megatrends into the energy
models. This is done in order to better understand how trends in modal choice,
car sharing, fleet electrification, and can impact the future energy system in
Denmark.
Giada Venturini:
Giada Venturini earned her Master in Management Engineering from University of Padova (2014) with a thesis focussing on optimization of container terminal operations and vessels fuel consumption. Her current work investigates feasible and robust technological pathways for a future low-carbon transport and energy system both from a techno-economic and environmental perspective. Her research interests revolve around energy system modelling, transport optimization, scenario and policy analysis within transport and energy. This is not an exhaustive list since she is every day ineffably inspired by the opportunities and challenges of our world and people.
