Biography
Katrin Kaltenegger works as a researcher in the Pollution Management Research Group of the IIASA Energy, Climate, and Environment Program, where she focuses on various aspects of the nitrogen cycle and agricultural emissions. Projects she was and is involved in include the modeling of nitrogen flows in urban areas, analyzing and updating EU member states' current policies on agricultural emissions using the GAINS model, as well as modeling the non-linear response of N2O emissions on nitrogen input to soil surfaces.She is a PhD candidate at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU), Vienna, focusing on soil surface nitrogen budgets at different scales. She holds a bachelor's degree in Environmental System Sciences with a focus on Physics, and a master's degree in Environmental System Sciences with a focus on Natural Sciences, both from the University of Graz. During the writing of her theses, she discovered a passion for transdisciplinary work and modeling, which brought her to IIASA in 2018.
