Moritz F. Fürst ➔ Currently based at the faculty of geosciences and environment of Université de Lausanne, I work as a researcher on the Urban Repair Project, exploring how repair and maintenance shape energy infrastructures in transition. I am a doctoral fellow affiliated to UNIL's institute of geography and sustainability and the science and technology studies lab. ● My research interests focus on knowledge and technology practices in the design and maintenance of information infrastructures and building technologies, particularly in the context of urban sociotechnical change towards data-driven and sustainable energy futures.
