Margarita Mediavilla Pascual
(Burgos, 1969)
Graduate in Physics and PhD from the University of Valladolid. She is a professor in the Department of Systems Engineering and Automation at the School of Industrial Engineering at the same University. Since 2008, her lines of research have focused on Systems Dynamics applied to energy-economy-environment models (WoLiM, MEDEAS) and the study of the transition to renewable energies in the context of the depletion of fossil resources and climate change. Since 2016, she has been working on the European project MEDEAS (http://www.medeas.eu/), whose objective is the creation of a new tool for decision-making in the transition of the European Union towards a sustainable energy system.
She participates in publications and discussion forums such as the blog Ultima Llamada (http://www.eldiario.es/ultima- llamada/), the Magazine 15/1515 (https://www.15-15-15.org/webzine/es/) and the Transiciones Forum (http://forotransiciones.org/), as well as in movements to promote food sovereignty and ecological consumption (Ecogermen http://ecogermen.com/) and in Ecologists in Action.
Her popular articles and non-academic publications are collected in her blog Habas Contadas https://contadashabas.wordpress.com/.
