Rate My Professor Sonia Yeh

Dr. Sonia Yeh is Full Professor in Transport and Energy Systems in the Department of Space, Earth and Environment at Chalmers University of Technology, affiliated with Physical Resource Theory in the Environmental and Energy Sciences. As Vice Director of the Area of Advance Energy, she fosters interdisciplinary collaborations to drive sustainable energy innovations. Yeh leads the STEAM lab on Sustainable Transport, Energy, Analytics, and Modelling, utilizing big data, machine learning, and simulation to analyze mobility patterns, electric vehicle infrastructure, energy hubs, and low-carbon transitions. Her expertise encompasses energy economics, energy system modeling, transportation policy, and sustainability, with emphasis on decarbonizing transport and integrating renewables.

Yeh's scholarly impact is evidenced by over 7,880 citations on Google Scholar. She serves as Senior Editor for Energy Policy and as a member of the scientific council for Transport Analysis, the Swedish government agency for transport planning. A co-author of the IPCC report, her research informs global policy on alternative fuels and emissions reductions. She directs multiple funded initiatives, including Ports as Energy Transition Hubs (POTENT, Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, 2025–2027, European Commission), BluePortLab (2025–2028, Formas), Multipoint megAwatt Charging for Battery Electric Truck Hubs (2025–2028, European Commission), The Game of Own on V2G (2025–2027, Swedish Energy Agency), Designing Resilience for Future Multi-System Transport (2025–2026, Chalmers), POTENT-X (2024–2027, Swedish Energy Agency), SySMultiMo (2024–2025, Chalmers), and Nordic Network on Energy System Integration (2022–2028, Nordic Energy Research). Key publications include 'Demand-side strategies enable rapid and deep cuts in buildings and transport emissions to 2050' (2025, van Heerden et al.), 'Rethinking resilience of low-carbon transportation using a multi-system dynamics approach' (2025, Yeh et al.), 'Transforming public transport depots into profitable energy hubs' (2024, Liu et al.), 'Electric bus charging scheduling problem considering charging infrastructure integrated with solar photovoltaic and energy storage systems' (2024, Liu et al.), and 'Battery electric long-haul trucks in Europe: Public charging, energy, and power requirements' (2023, Shoman et al.).
