Dublin, Leinster, Ireland

Sustainable energy advocate

Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, The Netherlands

Alonso is fond of mathematical modelling, AI, software development, languages and music. Two things Alonso enjoys: addressing any problem that orbits around sustainability and programming. The latter he mostly does in python or R but he is a versatile person who comfortably treks across uncharted territories. As a physicist, his research focused on molecules interacting with light. One possible application thereof lies in medicine (photodynamical therapy) but the very same topic also led him to building mathematical models of primary processes of photosynthesis - which plays a potential role as a source of renewable energy. He holds a Masters degree in Physics from the Humboldt University Berlin and a PhD degree in Biophysics from the VU Amsterdam. He currently works as a Data Scientist at the City Council in Amsterdam.

With a love of Movies and a VFX (visual effects) background in Hollywood Feature Films / Post Production Effects a change of career was needed. From September 2021 I shall be studying an MA in Mass Timber Design in Barcelona (CAD solid timber buildings and virtually thanks to COVID). Having lived in the UK's first purpose built housing co-operative since 2000 I recently co-founded and am a board member of a Community Land Trust in South East London with an aim to build more housing co-operatives on community asset locked land. I'm also hoping to create a platform housing co-op incubator, an app to raise finance to build housing co-ops, hostels and hotels and house key workers, co-ops workers, the homeless and tourists alike..
