Rob is a senior scientist at the Stockholm Environment Institute based in their US centre. His research focuses on the relationship between energy, social well-being and environmental change in developing countries. Rob's current research focuses on the impacts of traditional energy carriers such as wood and charcoal and the prospects for transition to alternative fuels and technologies such as pellets, liquid biofuels, gas and electricity. His work on household energy includes current projects in Zambia, Kenya, Rwanda and Haiti. Rob is the co-developer of MoFuSS.
Diana is a postdoctoral researcher at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, specializing in environmental geography. She earned her PhD in Geography from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) in 2023. Her research interests include the telecoupling of land use systems, land governance, and analyzing trade-offs in land change for ecosystem services and biodiversity. In MoFuSS she leads the prospective land use / cover change simulations by non-energy drivers, which allows MoFuSS to run over dynamic landscapes and iteract with residues from land clearings. Diana is also affiliated with the Wyss Academy for Nature.
