Jessica Jewell is a Professor of Technology and Society 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). Her research focuses on the speed and mechanisms of energy transitions with a particular interest in developing probabilistic projections of technological change and the role of policy in shaping energy transitions. She is the Principal Investigator of an ERC Starting Grant on the feasibility of climate action. She also serves as a member of the Swedish Young Academy. Before moving to Sweden, she 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 interplay of policy and technology change, and its effect on energy transition processes. Her current research specifically focuses on advancing methods to quantify policy effort for emerging and mature energy technologies.
In 2025, Lola was awarded a PhD in Energy, Environment and Systems from Chalmers University. As part of her PhD, Lola published on coal phase-out and related policies. Previously, 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 Researcher at the Center for Climate and Energy Transformations at the University of Bergen (Norway). His research is focused on the assessment and modelling of realistic deployment pathways for emerging low carbon technologies: carbon capture and storage, offshore wind power, and small modular reactors. Prior to joining ENTAP, 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).
Henry Rawlings is part of the Research Support Team for the Chalmers Academic Excellence Program (CAEP), and dedicates 30% of his time supporting ENTAP with administrative and project related tasks. He has an M.Sc in International Administration and Global Governance and a B.Sc. in European Public Administration from the University of Twente.
Prior to joining Chalmers, he worked as a Research Coordinator at the University of Gothenburg, and has also worked as a project coordinator at the Max Planck Society’s administrative headquarters in Munich.
