Summary
Juanjo Lopez-villarejo is a knowledge broker and policy-focused energy researcher with 12 years of experience at the nexus of economics, physics and sociology, currently shaping progressive carbon pricing and regional decarbonization strategies at EPFL’s LEURE Laboratory. He blends rigorous technical skills—from applied machine learning, data engineering and visualization to neo4j and Python—with hands-on program delivery demonstrated at the World Economic Forum, Nomads Foundation and Swiss public agencies. Juanjo has a rare track record of translating complex science into operational ecosystems, having secured EU funding, coordinated multi-stakeholder hydrogen networks and built a regional decarbonization observatory. His background in theoretical physics and CERN energy work underpins a quantitative approach to policy design, while his teaching and community facilitation sharpen his evidence-informed communication. Based in Paris with deep ties to Swiss institutions, he is equally comfortable prototyping dashboards and convening government, industry and startups to accelerate climate solutions.
