Research Interests
As a doctoral candidate Delf was working on an Economy-Energy-Climate model with a focus on policies under uncertainty and learning. The PhD thesis will be about the application of Cost-Risk Analysis to be able to analyze climate targets including future knowledge gain.
Further interests include dynamical systems and their tipping points, especially how to detect early warning signals.
