Oliver Fricko

Oliver Fricko joined IIASA’s Energy (ENE) Program in 2012 as a Research Scholar.

After having completed his master’s degree in international business and management in the United Kingdom in 2005, he returned to Austria to join an energy consultancy firm.There, he first began to work with MESSAGE and has continued to do so, despite having worked in several other international energy consultancy firms since.

Mr. Fricko’s work has focused on developing energy models (both simulation and optimization for the supply- and demand side) and conducting energy systems analysis for the purpose of devising long-term energy infrastructure strategies for cities and countries around the world.The work was carried out for political institutions as well as for various private companies, research programs, energy providers and for investors.

His last projects before joining IIASA focused on the merging of geographical information from GIS (Geographical Information System) databases with statistical information on buildings within cities, therefore making use of the GIS specific functionalities.This enhanced the possible data inputs for modeling purposes immensely but also enabled a geographically based visualization of results.
