Instructors

A Pioneer in Carbon Dioxide Removal and Greenhouse Gas Accounting

Samantha Eleanor Tanzer serves as an Assistant Professor and Delft Technology Fellow in the Department of Engineering Systems and Services at TU Delft's Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management. Her academic journey includes a BA in Economics from Swarthmore College, an MSc in Industrial Ecology (summa cum laude) jointly from Leiden University and TU Delft, and a PhD (cum laude) from TU Delft focusing on Negative Emissions in the Industrial Sector. Her groundbreaking research examines carbon dioxide removal systems and the complexities of greenhouse gas accounting, with particular emphasis on biomass with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) and direct air capture. Her work has garnered over 376 citations, with significant contributions to understanding carbon removal in industrial sectors, including pioneering research on concrete decarbonization and chemical sector emissions reduction. Before joining TU Delft as Assistant Professor in October 2023, she worked at Bellona Europa, where she helped develop foundational principles for defining and governing carbon dioxide removal. Her expertise has made her a valued advisor to national and international governments and organizations on carbon removal policy and implementation. Her recent work includes developing temporally explicit life cycle CO2 accounting methods and investigating the influence of different assumptions in removal systems modeling.

A Leading Expert in Sustainable Energy and CO2 Conversion Technologies

Mar Pérez-Fortes serves as a tenure track Assistant Professor in the Engineering Systems and Services department at TU Delft's Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management, where she brings extensive expertise in sustainable energy systems and CO2 conversion technologies. Her academic journey, which includes an MSc in Industrial Engineering and a PhD in Chemical Engineering from Spain, has been marked by significant contributions to emerging technology assessment and process optimization. After completing postdoctoral research in the USA, she enhanced her expertise through roles at the Joint Research Centre in the Netherlands and as a scientist in Switzerland, before joining TU Delft in November 2020. Her research portfolio focuses on the techno-economic assessment of emerging technologies, particularly in CO2 capture and utilization, bioenergy, and electrochemical devices, with special emphasis on supporting the decarbonization of the chemical sector and the transition to renewable electricity grids. Through her work in process systems engineering, renewable energies, and circular economy, she has developed innovative approaches to evaluating low technology readiness level energy systems, providing crucial support to private sector initiatives and European policy development. Her current research concentrates on CO2 electrochemical conversion, examining technical, economic, and social aspects of emerging technologies while emphasizing the integration of renewable energy sources and optimization of electrochemical processes. Her expertise has made her a valuable contributor to European energy initiatives and a leading voice in sustainable technology development, particularly in areas where process engineering meets environmental sustainability.
