Meet our new student staff members
KTH Climate Action has hired three students, Alma, Oscar, and Helena. The new student staff members’ work will be focused on communication around the competence centre’s activities and events. Here they introduce themselves and discuss their new jobs at KTH Climate Action Centre.
Alma Berggren Ek
1. Tell us a little bit about your background and filed of study
I am currently studying my 4th year of Industrial Economics and Management, with my specialization in Sustainable Power Generation. I recently came back from my exchange semester at Art et Métiers ParisTech, where I enrolled in their Grands Ecoles program in Industrial and Energy engineering.
2. What motivates you to work with KTH Climate Action Centre?
The climate crisis is now - and everyone needs to be part of the transition! To me, there are a lot of different stakeholders, researchers, students, industries, policymakers, and the general public, that are concerned about climate change and wants to contribute. What’s crucial is how we manage to mobilize all that will into action!
3. What will you be doing?
As part of our outreach work, I am currently mapping key climate action related work and projects in the Stockholm Region. If you know an interesting climate action project - reach out!
Oscar Stenström
1. Tell us a little bit about your background and filed of study
I am doing my master studies in Sustainable Energy Engineering, to wrap up my civil engineering program in Design and Product Realization. In addition to this, I have been involved in some (or rather, a lot!) of what student life has to offer at KTH.
2. What motivates you to work with KTH Climate Action Centre?
I really want to contribute to putting climate action on the agenda for everybody, and this is possible via the center as it creates many opportunities for collaboration between students, faculty, industry, and many more. Also, the name “Climate Action Centre” is just so cool.
3. What will you be doing?
A lot of climate action research is happening at KTH. But who are the key players? What are our most impactful contributions? I am digging into this, to both enable the center’s multidisciplinary activities and to showcase major climate action initiatives at KTH.
Helena Glisén
1. Tell us a little about your background and field of study
I am currently studying my Chemical Engineering masters for Energy and Environment, with a background in the engineering programme Energy and Environment.
2. What motivates you to work with KTH Climate Action Centre?
Foremost, it was the word action that motivated me to work with the Climate Action Centre, which is the reason I came to KTH in the first place. Also, the opportunity to be a part of a creative and innovative way of working with the climate issue, like the centre does, is very inspiring.
3. What will you be doing?
My focus is mainly on how the climate action is communicated to everyone outside the centre, by creating content of what and who the Climate Action Centre is working with. This content will be aimed at everyone who is interested to see what is actually being done about the climate issue, both at KTH but also beyond.
