Dejene Assefa Hagos

Dejene Assefa Hagos is an Associate Professor in energy technology and energy systems at the Department of Civil Engineering and Environmental Sciences, Western Norway University of Applied Sciences. He teaches FE407 Renewable Energy Technology & Resource Assessment and FE411 Energy Systems, and leads research in energy system modeling, transport decarbonisation, and sustainable transitions. His career includes postdoctoral work at Chalmers University of Technology (2017-2018) and researcher roles at NTNU (2019-2021).

• BSc Mechanical Engineering, Addis Ababa University (2005)
• MSc Thermal Engineering, Addis Ababa University (2010)
• MSc Sustainable Energy Engineering, KTH Royal Institute of Technology (2012)
• PhD Energy System Analysis, Norwegian University of Life Sciences (2016)

His research focuses include variable renewable energy integration, transport decarbonisation, and local energy transition, with emphasis on policy instrument design. Recent work explores Norwegian and Danish energy systems, particularly grid integration of renewables and offshore aquaculture power solutions.

Article trends show specialization in energy transition economics, low-carbon mobility, and policy-responsive energy modeling, covering both theoretical frameworks and case studies from Norway and Denmark. Key methodologies involve optimization algorithms, lifecycle assessments, and cross-sectoral decarbonization analysis.

He contributes to the Sustainable Energy Transition research group, addressing technical and socio-economic aspects of energy shifts through interdisciplinary collaboration.
