About me

Since 1995 Zofia has been working at the Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands. She is a full professor in the Energy and Industry group. Until the academic year 2017/2018 she was the director of the SEPAM (Systems Engineering, Policy Analysis and Management) Master Programme at TPM.

Her research concentrates on a wide range of problems in the way complex socio-technical systems function today and can be (re-)shaped for the sustainable future. The questions she works on concern investigation of supporting technology and emerging institutions for the transition towards sustainable energy systems. Shaping smart grids, requiring additional flexibility from the users in cooperation with dispatchable power plants, storage and interconnections, forms a main pillar in her research. Zofia is a Steering Board member of PowerWeb - an interfaculty research programme on smart grids at TU Delft.
