Short bio:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Philip is a PhD student in the Energy Transition and Climate Futures group at IT:U. In his research, he focuses on modelling global trade of energy-intensive basic materials (currently steel and HBI) and the impact of carbon pricing policies and climate cooperation on heavy industry decarbonisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He holds a B.Sc. in Economics from the University of Cologne, a BA in European Politics from King\u2019s College London, a Master in International Energy Transitions from Sciences Po Paris, and a Master in International Relations from Peking University. His interdisciplinary background motivates his research using computational methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before his time at IT:U, Philip worked for Agora Energy China in Beijing, Agora Energiewende in Brussels and Berlin, and as a Scientist at the Energy Transition Lab<\/a> of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK). He remains affiliated with the institute and the lab.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true},"class_list":["post-23932","team","type-team","status-publish","hentry","team_type-students"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nPhilip Horster | IT:U<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Philip Horster at IT:U Interdisciplinary Transformation University Austria in Linz.
