Philipp Eppe

Philipp Eppe is an active researcher specializing in sustainable energy transitions, with expertise in psychological determinants of renewable energy adoption and agent-based modeling of transition dynamics. His interdisciplinary work bridges social sciences and energy technology to address low-carbon futures.

Core research areas include:

• Energy Transition and Renewable Energy Systems
• Sustainable Technology Adoption Psychology
• Agent-Based Modeling for Social-Energy Systems
• Investment Decisions in Battery Storage
• Hydrogen Leadership and Market Structures
• STEEP Factor Analysis (Social, Technological, Economic, Environmental, Political)

Recent publications (2023-2025) demonstrate consistent focus on meta-analyzing psychological adoption barriers, modeling industrial prosumer behavior in energy markets, and developing computational frameworks for local transitions. His work shows strong alignment between psychological theories and practical energy transition challenges, with increasing emphasis on transdisciplinary approaches integrating market dynamics and leadership factors.

Eppe actively contributes to academic discourse through conference presentations (including ICEP 2025) and workshop organization (e.g., Behavioral Science in Agent-Based Modeling), while collaborating with researchers across European energy initiatives like hyBit Cluster.
