Independent (Joel Christoph)

As a Ph.D. researcher in Economics at the European University Institute and Director of the non-profit Effective Thesis, my work intersects academic research, social entrepreneurship, and policy advocacy. My focus is on understanding and addressing the economic impacts of technological advancements, particularly in AI and renewable energy. Through my leadership role at Endeema, a renewable energy software start-up, I have been instrumental in developing solutions that align EU firms' energy demands with sustainable sources. My academic journey has been marked by numerous scholarships and fellowships, reflecting my commitment to excellence and innovation. As a Dahrendorf Fellow at Oxford and a Bretton Woods 2.0 Fellow, I have engaged in influential policy discussions, contributing my insights on AI, climate change, and energy transition. My work aims to catalyze systemic change towards sustainable economic models, aligning closely with the Sustainable Development Goals.
