Message from Lukas

"Hello, my name is Lukas. I am half German and half Italian, born and raised in Düsseldorf, Germany, with one part of my family from Bologna, Italy. Focusing on Energy Economics and Environmental Policy during my bachelor’s, in both Italy and Germany, sparked my great interest and passion for environmentally sustainable economic practices. This interest led me to ETIA, and I am excited to be the program representative in DASI for this academic year!

As Secretary, I am responsible for all communications between the board, other stakeholders, and the DASI. In this role, I will ensure ETIA is well-represented with the DA while contributing to positive interactions and fostering an inclusive and welcoming campus environment."
