Vita
Lara Ahmann holds a Bachelor’s degree in Cultural and Economic Sciences from the University of Halle-Wittenberg and a Master’s degree in Environmental Systems and Resource Management from the University of Osnabrück. Since October 2017 she is a researcher at GWS in the division of Energy and Climate.
She was already involved in projects on climate change adaptation, bioeconomy and energy efficiency and contributed her systems science expertise. In interdisciplinary teams she evaluated different policy options and instruments. With the models PANTA RHEI and GINFORS-E she works on macroeconometric modelling and future projections.
