Dr Koen H van Dam (Imperial College London, UK)
Koen van Dam is a Research Fellow at Imperial College London in the Urban Energy Systems group. His contributions focus on developing agent-based models of city systems based on spatial and temporal data from multiple sectors, focusing on energy and transport sectors at different scales from individual building to the national level. Such models can then be used to experiment with the impact of local interventions on system-level performance, providing valuable decision support for the design of new services, technologies and policies. He currently works on the FCDO Climate Compatible Growth project and acts as technical lead for the COP26 Rapid Response Facility. Previous projects include the Climate-KIC projects Smart District Data Infrastructure and Smart Sustainable Districts, EPSRC-funded projects Digital City Exchange and Integrated Development of Low-Carbon Energy Systems, as well as the DFID project resilience.io.
