Pablo de Agustin has a PhD in Mechanical Engineering (UC3M, 2015), a M.Sc in Applied Physics specialising in Renewable Energies (UCM, 2010) and a B.Sc in Physics (UPV/EHU, 2007). He worked at the National Geographic Institute analysing geospatial data and developing solar-powered remote systems for volcanic monitoring. He also worked at the Eduardo Torroja Institute of Construction Sciences-CSIC, researching the integration of renewable energies in buildings and the reduction of emissions, where he developed his PhD thesis on solar trigeneration systems (electricity, heating and cooling) for buildings.
Since 2016, he has been a senior researcher at TECNALIA’s Energy, Climate and Urban Transition Unit, where he carries out projects on energy efficiency, active demand management, neighbourhood regeneration, renewable energy communities, and the application of digital technologies for the multi-scale transition towards smart and decarbonised cities. He has collaborated with companies and public administrations (Bilbao, Durango, Vitoria-Gasteiz, or Dubai) in their decarbonisation plans and measures.
He has been a guest researcher at the Solar Energy Laboratory of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, associate professor in the sustainable islands programme at the University of Aruba, speaker at conferences and seminars, and reviewer of scientific-technical journals in the field.
