Tatiana holds a PhD in applied mathematics from Humboldt University Berlin. She specializes in stochastic optimization and time series forecasting for climate mitigation and energy/water infrastructure. She likes to collaborate with social scientists to explore power dynamics, socio-ecological inequalities and decolonial transformations, aiming for just transitions in the Global South.
Dr. Tatiana González Grandón is an accomplished mathematician and economist specializing in climate mitigation through energy and water infrastructure. She serves as Associate Academic Officer at the United Nations University - Vice-Rectorate in Europe (UNU-ViE) in Bonn, where she leads the energy research under the Water-Energy-Food Nexus framework. Tatiana is also affiliated with the Integrative Research Institute on Transformations of Human-Environment Systems (IRI-THeSyS) at Humboldt University of Berlin, with NTNU in Norway, and with the Universal Energy Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
Previously, Tatiana has lectured several economics and mathematics courses at master and bachelor level. She also worked as a Senior Operations Researcher and Mini-grid Expert at INENSUS GmbH, focusing on micro-power management, rural energy-agriculture nexus analysis, and technical due diligence for minigrids in Africa.
Tatiana’s academic journey includes a PhD in Mathematics from Humboldt University Berlin, a Master's in Applied Mathematics from Technische Universität Berlin, and two Bachelor's degrees in Mathematics and Economics from UNAM and ITAM, respectively.
Her publications include work on stochastic optimization, machine learning for time series forecasting, energy poverty, 'spatial' financial risks around energy and water infrastructure.
She is committed to interdisciplinary collaboration, partnering with social scientists to explore power dynamics, socio-ecological inequalities and decolonial approaches to foster equitable transitions, particularly in the Global South.
