Rate My Professor Linda Kamp

Kamp's research focuses on the sociotechnical analysis of the implementation of sustainable energy technologies in developed and developing countries, including the design of business strategies and business models to facilitate this process. Key areas include wind energy development in the Netherlands and Denmark, niche strategies for high-tech products such as kite-based airborne wind energy and biomass thermochemical conversion technology, sustainability transitions, and renewable energy in contexts like rural Bangladesh and Ethiopia's biogas sector. She has published in prominent journals including Energy Policy, Journal of Cleaner Production, Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, and Environmental Science & Policy. Selected publications are 'Drivers, barriers, and strategies for implementation of renewable energy technologies in rural areas in Bangladesh—An innovation system analysis' (Energy Policy, 2010), 'Notions on learning applied to wind turbine development in the Netherlands and Denmark' (Energy Policy, 2004), 'Engineering education in sustainable development at Delft University of Technology' (Journal of Cleaner Production, 2006), 'Selection of biomass thermochemical conversion technology in the Netherlands: A best worst method approach' (Journal of Cleaner Production, 2017), and 'Sustainability transitions in developing countries: Stocktaking, new contributions and a research agenda' (Environmental Science & Policy, 2018). In teaching, she delivers courses on sustainable technology development, strategies for sustainable energy technologies, transition management, technology dynamics, strategic niche management, and responsible innovation. She developed and coordinates the Energy & Society track in the TU Delft MSc programme Sustainable Energy Technologies, chairs the programme's Education Committee, serves on the Management Team of the Technology Dynamics & Sustainable Development section, and manages its educational activities.
