She leads research in technological innovation for sustainability and is a key member of the Technology, Innovation and Society group. Previously, she was affiliated with the Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development at Utrecht University and the Dutch National Centre for Mathematics and Computer Science (CWI). Her research focuses on understanding how technological innovations emerge and evolve, particularly in the context of sustainability transitions. Using methods such as agent-based modeling and evolutionary economics, she investigates governance mechanisms, innovation dynamics, and policy impacts on socio-technical change. Her work bridges artificial intelligence, economic theory, and environmental policy to support transitions in energy, mobility, and industrial systems. Floor Alkemade has been recognized with several competitive grants that reflect the excellence and impact of her research. These include a Veni (2008), Vidi (2014), and ERC Consolidator Grant (2022), all dedicated to innovation for sustainability. These awards highlight her sustained contributions and leadership in the field of environmental innovation and societal transitions. She serves as an associate editor for the Journal of Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions , contributing to the scholarly discourse in her domain. Her academic journey began with an MSc in Artificial Intelligence from VU University Amsterdam, followed by a PhD in Agent-Based Evolutionary Economics from TU/e in 2004, conducted at CWI. While specific details about her advisees and research grants beyond personal awards are not listed, her leadership in a prominent research group suggests active supervision and project involvement. Floor Alkemade is embedded in the Technology, Innovation and Society research group at TU/e, a team dedicated to studying innovation processes, socio-technical transitions, and the governance of emerging technologies. This group employs interdisciplinary and system-level approaches to address complex societal challenges related to sustainability and digital transformation.
