Curriculum vitae

Felipe Corral Montoya has been a research associate at the Institute of Energy and Environmental Management at the European University of Flensburg since January 2022. Since 2020 he has been working at the TU Berlin as a research assistant in the field of economic and infrastructure policy.

After completing his bachelor's degree in political economy at the University of Heidelberg and a master's degree in public policy at the Hertie School in Berlin, Felipe has been working as a research assistant in the CoalExit research group since 2018. At CoalExit and later in the CINTRAN project, he was interested in structural change in coal regions, governance of raw material extraction and climate and energy policy, especially in the Global South. His particular focus is on the political economy of extractivism.
