Luís Pereira Dias is an environmental engineer with over 10 years of research experience on energy and climate change topics. He is a Ph.D. candidate at the Global Studies Doctoral Program from NOVA University Lisbon on the topic: City transitions to a sustainable and self-sufficient future: Water–energy–food nexus. He has collaborated in several I&D projects focusing on science support for national policy-making (e.g., Portuguese Carbon Neutrality 2050 Roadmap) and also at a local scale (e.g., FP7 INSMART project). He has developed extensive work on energy systems' integrated assessment and modeling, climate mitigation solutions, low-carbon/carbon-neutral futures, technological, economic, and environmental impacts scenarios, and resource-efficient and sustainable cities. He has an MSc in Environmental Engineering on Integrated Analysis of Climate Change and Air Quality Policies with the TIMES_PT model from NOVA School of Science and Technology.
