Biography

Professor Laura Diaz Anadon CV

Prof Laura Diaz Anadon holds the chaired Professorship of Climate Change Policy at the University of Cambridge. At Cambridge she is also Director of the Centre for Environment, Energy and Natural Resource Governance (CEENRG) and Fellow of St. John's College, where she is the Director of Studies for Land Economy. She is also a Board Member of the University of Cambridge Conservation Research Institute (UCCRI). She is also a long-standing Affiliate at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at the Harvard Kennedy School (HKS) at Harvard University, where she was a Visiting Scholar for 2021–2022.

Prof Diaz Anadon joined the Department of Land Economy in September 2017 after a year as a faculty member in the Department in Politics and International Studies, also at the University of Cambridge. Before Cambridge she was an Assistant Professor of Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School between July 2013 and September 2016. At HKS she held various posts, including Associate Director of the Science, Technology and Public Policy (STPP) program, Director of the Investigator of the Energy Technology Innovation Policy research group and Member of the Board of the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs.

Prof Diaz Anadon is a Lead Author in the 6th Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Working Group III on Climate Change Mitigation. She is a member of the Economics of Decarbonization Advisory Group for the UK Treasury’s Net Zero Review, the Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Independent Commission on Climate and the Board of Directors of Cambridge Enterprise Ltd. In March 2022 she was selected as one of the 15 founding members of the European Scientific Advisory Board on Climate. She was later voted as Vice-Chair of the Board.

She has received numerous awards and recognition for her research. In June 2018 she was awarded the XVII Fundacion Banco Sabadell Prize for Economic Research for the best young Spanish economics researcher, and in 2021 she was awarded a Distinguished Visiting Professorship at Tsinghua University. She has given numerous international invited seminars, plenary talks and keynotes.

In addition to her various formal policy and commercialization advisory roles, Prof Diaz Anadon has engaged with policymakers in the United States, China, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and Spain among others, and contributed to the UN Global Sustainable Development report and the Global Energy Assessment. She has also contributed evidence to US Congress and the UK Parliament. She has also worked as a consultant for various organizations (i.e., Climate Strategies on a World Bank project, UNFCCC, and OECD). Prior to starting her academic career, Prof Diaz Anadon carried out process engineering research projects at DuPont and Bayer Pharmaceuticals, collaborated extensively with Johnson Matthey Catalysts, and worked as a financial consultant at Oliver Wyman for banks on credit risk models for financing technology projects.

Prof Diaz Anadon holds a PhD in Chemical Engineering from the Magnetic Resonance and Catalysis Group at the University of Cambridge, a Masters in Public Policy from the Harvard Kennedy School, and a Masters in Chemical Engineering from the University of Manchester. During her undergraduate degree she also studied at the University of Stuttgart.

Research

Energy and climate policy; innovation and science policy; policy evaluation; econometrics; R&D institutions and management; decision making under uncertainty;  water-energy-food nexus; sustainable development; solar power; wind power; energy storage; buildings

Prof. Diaz Anadon has three main areas of research: The first area of research is on understanding on energy and environment-oriented technological innovation, which seeks to: identify and quantify the diverse benefits that derive from policies designed to promote it; map the complex factors—including but not limited to policies—that contribute to it; and create tools for policymakers and analysts to manage the systemic uncertainties that accompany it. Her second area of research focuses on the study of public innovation institutions in the climate and energy space and how to improve their effectiveness in various places across the globe. A third area of focus is the study the coupling between water and energy systems and its implications for policy-making, with a particular emphasis on the United States, China, and the Middle East and North Africa region. 

Her work on climate, energy, and innovation policy and systems analysis has resulted in over 70 journal articles (including Nature, PNAS, Nature Energy, Research Policy, Nature Climate Change, Environmental Science & Technology, Risk Analysis, Climatic Change, Environmental Research Letters, Global Environmental Change and Energy Economics), a 2014 edited Cambridge University Press book entitled “Transforming U.S. Energy Innovation”, a 2017 book on science and technology policy and partnerships in the Gulf, and 6 book chapters. Diaz Anadon has also published in chemical engineering and nuclear magnetic resonance journals, 

During her time at Cambridge she has received many competitive collaborative research grants. These include: an EU-funded H2020 project on the energy transition in Europe (INNOPATHS); an Alfred P. Sloan Foundation grant to work on energy technology spillovers and the role of policy (2019); a UK ESRC and US NSF grant to work on the role of manufacturing location on the direction of innovation (2019); a UK BEIS and CIFF project (EEIST) focussed on developing complexity-based modelling solutions to inform policy making to meet climate goals in the energy sector (EEIST) (2020); a NERC grant to work on landscape solutions to promote climate mitigation, biodiversity and local development (2022); a second EU Horizon project on improving the modelling of technical change and policy impacts (PRISMA) (2023); and a second Sloan Foundation grant joint with UC Berkeley on Designing Institutions for Commercializing Energy Technologies (2024).
