Tim Tröndle

Dr. Tim Tröndle is a Lecturer at ETH Zurich's Department of Environmental Systems Science, specializing in climate protection and adaptation. His research focuses on barriers to energy transition and policy instrument development, addressing societal trade-offs and lock-in effects through quantitative methods including energy system modeling and Bayesian probabilistic models.

His work emphasizes the energy transition's societal impacts, particularly trade-offs between self-sufficiency and landscape integrity. Current projects investigate climate change effects on forest communities and species' functional traits. Methodologically, he employs high-performance computing and reproducible research frameworks.

Research publications predominantly focus on renewable energy systems, climate-neutral aviation solutions, and policy modeling across European contexts. Recent work analyzes techno-economic pathways for decarbonization, public acceptance of energy transitions, and grid resilience strategies.
