Michael Dioha

Michael Dioha is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Carnegie Institution for Science Department Of Global Ecology, located at the Stanford University campus. His main research areas include energy systems analysis & modelling and socioeconomic development for a sustainable energy transition. Michael develops integrated energy system models to project energy supply-demand mixes, associated costs, and environmental emissions over a long-term planning horizon for a defined region. He also apply these models to study the implications of energy efficiency improvements as well as the implementation of renewable and advanced energy technologies.

Before joining the Carnegie Institution for Science, Michael was a Research Analyst at the TERI School of Advanced Studies, New Delhi, where he did research on net-zero emission pathways for India. He has worked on many international projects with people from different nationalities and disciplines. Beyond academic research, Michael also advocates for innovative approaches that promote inclusive and just socioeconomic development especially, in Africa. Michael holds an interdisciplinary PhD in Energy & Environment and a BSc in Mechanical Engineering. Outside of work, Michael enjoys playing football, running and art.
