CURRENT MISSION

Renewable Energy Research: India and Brazil

ABOUT ME

Hi,

I am Colombian and British, and I am doing research for my PhD in Geography. I am an urbanist as well, and my field is cities and sustainability... It is quite a broad field, but I like all sort of topics within it, from sustainable urban design to governance.

I am in India exploring how Indian cities are adopting renewable energy. I would like to focus on Thane and Coimbatore, but I am also interested in Rajkot and Nagpur. They are all known as 'Solar Cities'. After India, I will be going to Brazil to do something similar.

Please take a look at my website: www.energygeographies.com

Cheers,

Andres
