Her current work focuses on connecting insights from energy modelling with social science and climate policy. Her research interests include the assessment of socio-economic benefits of energy systems decarbonization and the exploration of approaches that can foster the integration of knowledge across disciplines. Prior to joining CEP, Piera worked at the International Institute for Applied System Analysis (IIASA), where she studied the interlinkages between the technical, economic and social dimensions of low carbon technology deployment. She currently works on the Comparative assessment and region-specific optimisation of greenhouse gas removal (GGR) technologies.
