Anne-Sophie Corbeau serves as a Global Research Scholar at Columbia University's Center on Global Energy Policy within the School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA). With over 20 years of experience in the energy sector, she is a recognized expert on natural gas and hydrogen markets, specializing in global energy security, LNG dynamics, and geopolitical implications across Asia, China, Europe, and Africa. Her influential book 'LNG markets in transition: the great reconfiguration' (Oxford, 2016) established her as a leading authority in the field. Dr. Corbeau holds dual Master of Science degrees from École Centrale Paris and the University of Stuttgart. Her technical foundation began with engineering work on fuel cells and hydrogen systems at Peugeot and Debis Systemhaus, providing critical insight for her later policy and market analysis roles. Her research focuses on the intersection of natural gas and hydrogen with global energy transitions, examining how geopolitical conflicts (like Europe's shift from Russian gas), trade policies, and climate imperatives reshape energy markets. She analyzes LNG market bubbles, U.S.-EU energy dependencies, and the political rehabilitation of fossil fuels within decarbonization frameworks. Recent 2025 publications reveal consistent trends in her work: critical analysis of U.S. LNG expansion amid climate risks, EU-US trade tensions in energy, and Middle Eastern gas dynamics. These works collectively demonstrate her expertise in connecting market data with geopolitical strategy, particularly regarding energy security challenges in volatile global contexts. No specific scientific awards are documented in available sources, though her expertise is validated through leadership roles including membership on the Gastech governing body and contributions to major institutional research programs. Dr. Corbeau maintains a strong advisory profile, having directed gas analysis for BP's Leadership Team and shaped long-term pricing assumptions for global markets. Her research has been institutionally funded through BP, KAPSARC, and the International Energy Agency, with current work supported by Columbia University's Center on Global Energy Policy. She operates within Columbia's Center on Global Energy Policy while maintaining influence through the Gastech governing body.
