Summary
Matija Pavičević is an energy systems engineer and researcher with eight years’ experience designing smart, sector-coupled energy models and advancing renewable integration across academia and national labs. Currently at Argonne National Laboratory after postdoctoral roles in Belgium, he completed a PhD track at KU Leuven where he led development of Dispa-SET and DARKO tools, published multiple high-impact papers, and supervised teaching and master theses. His work bridges mathematical modelling, project management and open-source tool development to analyse water-power interactions and day-ahead market optimisation for real-world power systems. Passionate about sustainability, open science and entrepreneurship, he routinely turns complex research into policy-relevant tools and international project proposals. Not obvious from titles alone: he combines hands-on model coding with field-oriented energy planning experience across EU, Balkan and African contexts.
