Tatiana Gonzaléz Grandón
About
I am a mathematician and economist specializing in participatory climate and energy modeling to support economic decision-making under uncertainty and risk. My work foregrounds spatial dynamics by examining how infrastructures, ecologies, and livelihoods intersect across scales, from rural villages to national planning, and how these geographies shape and are shaped by global climate and energy transitions.
With six years of experience in rural electrification planning, development financing, and water-energy-food nexus projects across Togo, Nigeria, Tanzania, Sierra Leone, and Niger, I bring an explicitly place-based approach to development practice. My collaborations with organizations such as the United Nations and GIZ have focused on how infrastructure investments and policy decisions are embedded in territorial politics, regional ecologies, and transboundary resource systems.
My academic interests span climate modelling, political ecology, critical development studies, and feminist theory, with a strong focus on interdisciplinary methodologies that bridge social and natural sciences. I am particularly passionate about rethinking the climate-development-infrastructure nexus, attending to how power, territory, and place mediate transitions in contexts of uncertainty and change.
