Biography
Dr Nigora Djalilova has received her PhD in Sustainability Science from the Graduate School of Frontier Science, the University of Tokyo in September 2018. She has since been visiting scholar at the Harriman Institute at Columbia University (2018-2019) and Research Associate at the University of Tsukuba, Japan (2019 to present). She has published in Applied Energy (Elsevier), Asia Europe Journal (Springer) and International Journal of Sustainable Future for Human Society. Her research focuses on the sustainability issues in energy sector and the deployment of renewable energy sources in Central Asia.
Her forthcoming book titled “Sustainable Energy in Central Asia: Transition towards Renewable Energy Sources in Uzbekistan” (Routledge, UK) is dedicated to the issues of transition towards renewable energy systems in Central Asia. The study focuses on the deployment of alternative energy sources in the countries which endowed with natural energy resources (such as gas, coal and oil) to demonstrate challenges and also emphasize existing electricity supply issues in remote areas. It provides an outline of major problems which go beyond the issues faced by Central Asian (CA) countries, and common for other post-Socialist Countries.
