David Fornborg

I am a PhD Student at the Division of Energy Processes at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, where my research explores the intersection of energy systems and society. As part of the KUSK research project, I focus on combining techno-economic and socio-economic impact modeling to better understand the broader consequences of the energy transition. I’m especially interested in understanding trade-offs between, at times, competing goals for decarbonisation, energy security, competitiveness and affordability. Other research interests include industrial policy and quasi-experimental methods.

Before joining KTH, I worked as a Policy Analyst at the Swedish Energy Agency where I specialized in impact assessments and developing policy assumptions for national, regional, and EU-level energy scenarios.
