Curriculum Vitae
Dr Stefan Laser

I study the material politics of energy transitions and sustainability measures. My background is in sociology, and I published widely on relational approaches like actor-network theory, on economic sociology, digital methods, and interdisciplinary discussions in waste, energy and valuation studies.

My research is shaped by an ethnographic lens. I draw on qualitative research methods, while quantitative digital methods enrich the qualitative perspective.

Education

Programming and Software Skills
