Researcher
Péter I. Pápics has a PhD in Astronomy and Astrophysics (KU Leuven), and a ten-year experience in academic research, including a postdoctoral position funded by the Research Foundation – Flanders (FWO), with over 50 well-cited publications in international peer-reviewed journals. His work - involving the analysis, interpretation, and modelling of large data sets - has contributed to a better understanding of the internal structure of massive stars, and the physical processes that govern their lives. He joined TML in 2018 looking for a new challenge where he can apply his expertise and grow further in a field that is directly relevant for both our society and our environment. During his first year he contributed to various projects, involving work on fleet dynamics (updating the global passenger car stock used in our models), scenario modelling (with a focus on LPG and electric vehicles), and building a scenario simulator tool based on the MOVEET model to assess the effect of various policy measures regarding road transport and emissions. He is also heavily invested in other projects that involve data analysis and programming.
