Louis Delannoy

Louis Delannoy joined GEDB as a postdoctoral researcher from September 2023 to work on the Entangled Shocks and Crises in the Anthropocene Production Ecosystem (ESCAPE) project.

A transdisciplinary scholar, Louis combines various research fields to understand how multiple environmental and social shocks combine to create systemic crises, with a focus on the role of the global production ecosystem. More specifically, he examines how shocks are transferred, absorbed and linked together across space, time and sectors of society and develop methods to empirically answer these questions. Other research interests range from political ecology to economic anthropology.

Louis´s academic credentials include a B. Sc. in Civil Engineering and M. Sc. in Energy Management and Sustainability, both from EPFL, as well as a PhD in Applied Mathematics from the Université of Grenoble Alpes. His PhD thesis explored the systemic risks emerging from the interaction between energy, finance and the economy, from an ecological economics perspective
