Biography
Jan Steinhauser is a researcher in the Novel Data Ecosystems for Sustainability Research Group of the IIASA Advancing Systems Analysis Program. He investigates novel methods for citizen science, climate and sustainability engagement, and behavior change, with a particular focus on the utilization of video games. He is also a researcher in the Energy, Climate, and Environment Program, where he contributes to assessments of the land-energy nexus utilizing the MAgPIE land-use model and the expansion of the MESSAGEix energy model.Additionally, Steinhauser is a PhD candidate at the Graz University of Technology, affiliated with the Game Lab Graz, and part of the Food, Agriculture, Biodiversity, Land-use, and Energy (FABLE) Consortium and its technical working group. His research interests include citizen engagement; food systems; land-based energy and climate mitigation options; and their sustainability trade-offs.
Prior to joining IIASA in 2021, Steinhauser worked at the Sustainability and Global Change Research Unit at the University of Hamburg, Germany, modeling land use and its link to the Sustainable Development Goals, with a particular focus on the FABLE Calculator and the FABLE Scenathon. He has also served as a scientific consultant to the UN SDSN secretariat and IIASA.
Steinhauser holds a master’s degree (2021) in Integrated Climate System Sciences from the University of Hamburg, where he developed a partial-equilibrium land-use model to assess interactions between agricultural impacts on critical Earth systems. He also holds a bachelor’s degree (2018) in Physics from the Technical University of Berlin, Germany, which he obtained with thesis work done at the Tokyo Institute of Technology and the RIKEN Nishina Center for Accelerator-Based Science. In addition, he has another bachelor’s degree (2013) in Online Journalism and Media from the Cologne University of Applied Sciences, Germany.
