Peter Kolp

Peter Kolp (M) is a Senior Programmer at IIASA working in both the Transitions to New Technologies (TNT) and Energy (ENE) Programs.
He studied traffic engineering at the Technical University of Vienna (TU Wien).

Mr. Kolp has developed several database interfaces at IIASA (e.g. the IPCC AR5 Scenario Database - https://tntcat.iiasa.ac.at/AR5DB) and the IIASA Logistic Substitution Model.In addition, he has been a contributing author of the IPCC 5th Assessment Report and Global Energy Assessment.

His professional interests include technology diffusion processes, energy modeling and model development as well as software and database development where he focuses on making research results accessibly via the web.
