Natalia Collado Van-Baumberghen

Natalia Collado Van-Baumberghen is a Researcher at the Institute for Research in Technology (IIT) within the Higher Technical School of Engineering (ICAI) at Comillas Pontifical University. She holds a Predoctoral Research Fellowship in the areas of Energy Systems Regulation and Economics. Her role combines advancing her doctoral thesis on mobility management policy design and contributing to sustainable mobility solutions. She is affiliated with the Regulation in Energy Systems department and collaborates with the Esade Centre for Economic Policy (EsadeEcPol).

Education:

• Bachelor’s in Economics (Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, 2018)
• Master’s in Industrial Economics and Markets (Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, 2021), specializing in competition regulation with focus on energy sectors

Research interests span energy economics, climate policy design, sustainable mobility, and regulatory frameworks. Her work addresses carbon border mechanisms, energy poverty, transport subsidies, and decarbonization strategies. Recent contributions include analyses of gas price caps, EU electricity market reforms, and the socio-economic impacts of mobility policies. She actively engages in policy dissemination via technical reports and media outlets like Energy a Granel.

Publications focus on bridging economic analysis with practical policy solutions, particularly in energy and transport sectors. Her invited lectures (e.g., on congestion management and energy poverty) reflect her role as a bridge between academic research and real-world applications.

Her doctoral research emphasizes improving urban mobility through data-driven policy proposals. At IIT, she contributes to interdisciplinary teams addressing smart mobility and energy transition challenges. No formal awards are listed, but her work demonstrates impactful contributions to policy-relevant research.
