Jessica Jewell is a Professor in the Department of Space, Earth and Environment at Chalmers University (Sweden) and at the Center for Climate and Energy Transformations at the University of Bergen (Norway). She leads an ERC project on the mechanisms of energy transitions and feasibility of climate action and co-leads a work package in MISTRA-Electric. Previolsly she led a work-package in an H2020 project on European carbon-intensive regions and an RCN project on decline of fossil fuels and its implications. She also has worked at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (Austria) and the International Energy Agency (France).

Vadim Vinichenko is a research specialist in the Department of Space, Earth and Environment at Chalmers University (Sweden). His work focuses on the empirical analysis of energy transitions to map the feasibility of future climate mitigation scenarios. Dr. Vinichenko has published on national energy transitions, coal phase-out and energy security in climate mitigation scenarios, as well as deployment of renewable energy technologies. His current research is contributing to the MANIFEST project. Prior to joining Chalmers, Dr. Vinichenko worked at the Centre for Climate and Energy Transformations at the University of Bergen (Norway).

Masahiro Suzuki is a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Space, Earth and Environment at Chalmers University of Technology (Sweden). His research focuses on the empirical co-evolution of policies and energy transitions, in comparison to what is required to mitigate climate change. Previously, he worked at the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (Japan) and attended climate COPs as a national delegate. He was also a visiting researcher at NewClimate Institute (Germany). Masahiro holds a PhD in Environmental Sciences and Policy from Central European University (Vienna), an M.Sc. in Environmental Sciences, Policy and Management (MESPOM), and a B.A. in International Relations from Waseda University (Japan).

Lola Nacke is a post-doctoral researcher in the Department of Space, Earth and Environment at Chalmers University. Her research examines the feasibility of low-carbon energy transitions, focusing on coal phase-out and related policies within CINTRAN project. Before joining POLET, Lola earned an M.Sc. in Environmental Sciences, Policy & Management, and a B.A. in European Studies from Maastricht University.

Tsimafei Kazlou is a PhD student at the Center for Climate and Energy Transformations at the University of Bergen (Norway). His research is focused on the feasibility of emerging technologies’ deployment for meeting climate targets. Prior to joining POLET, he was awarded an M.Sc. in Environmental Sciences, Policy and Management. He also holds a B.Sc. in Geology from Belarusian State University (Belarus).

Avi Jakhmola is a PhD student at the Department of Space, Earth and Environment at Chalmers University (Sweden). His research focuses on measuring and modelling the growth and diffusion of renewable energy technologies, and is part of the MANIFEST project. He previously graduated with a joint M.Sc. degree in Environmental Sciences, Policy & Management and a B.Sc. (Honours) in Physics from Amity University (India).
