![]() Konstantinos "Constantine" Spandagos is an engineer specialized in the intersection of energy technology, policy and society. Currently, he is an Assistant Professor of Sustainable Energy Policy and the director of the Spandagos Lab at the University of New Hampshire. Previously, he was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Economic Analysis at the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI), a Visiting Research Fellow in Economics at Trinity College Dublin and a Postdoctoral Fellow in Public Policy at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). Dr. Spandagos is primarily interested in the transitions towards decarbonized, sustainable and equitable energy systems. To study this topic, he combines mathematical modeling, behavioral economics and psychology. He uses tools such as fuzzy logic modeling, econometrics, optimization and behavioral experiments. His research is published in top journals in the fields of energy and sustainable development, such as Applied Energy, Energy Economics, Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, and the Journal of Cleaner Production, and presented in events such as the Behavior, Energy & Climate Change (BECC) conference. He holds Ph.D. degrees in Chemical Engineering and Civil Engineering- Energy Technology from Imperial College London and HKUST. He also holds an M.Sc. degree from the Centre for Environmental Policy of Imperial College London and a B.Sc. in Chemical Engineering from NTU Athens. He often volunteers as a reviewer for journals such as Joule, Energy Economics, Applied Energy, Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, Energy Research and Social Science, Environmental Research Letters, Journal of Cleaner Production, Sustainable Cities and Society, Energy, Energy for Sustainable Development, Utilities Policy, The International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control, Energy Efficiency, The Energy Journal and Building Simulation.
