Speaker
Description
In this talk I would like to give you insights into my job at the German climate NGO atmosfair and my career at the cross-section of energy, development and climate action. I hold a BSc in Physics from the University of Konstanz and an MSc in Sustainable Energy Engineering from NTNU in Trondheim and DTU in Copenhagen. After finishing my degree, I worked as a Trainee at the European Commission in the General Directorate for Research and Innovation. Since 2019, I am working as a project developer for climate change mitigation projects at atmosfair. My day-to-day job involves identifying new project opportunities, designing impact monitoring schemes, analysing project data, negotiating collaboration agreements and much more. In my career I have had the opportunity to work with numerous partners to support the energy transition in different African countries, including the uptake of modern electric cooking for households. My physics degree allowed me to do my job because it equipped me with technical understanding and skills, perseverance and the flexibility to choose my individual professional path.
