Cristina Madrid López
I am the director of this group of wonderful people that is the LIVENLab and an environmental scientist by training. With my work, I seek to understand how we can make the energy transition truly sustainable, defining methods to understand the complex relations that guide the socio-ecosystems (and put them in a script!). More specifically, I explore how to model the impacts of future energy scenarios.
My current research studies the impacts of wind energy, develops non-linear (time and region dependent) cycle impact assessment methods, and assesses the role of geopolitical relations in the energy transition in Spain.
My side research line explores how citizen science can be inserted in educational curriculums in primary and secondary schools. Using pilot projects of water reuse and measurement, we assess the changes the environmental perceptions of children and teenagers. I am also part of the industrial ecology community and serve as a board member of our international society, the ISIE.
