Personal profile
Biography
Dr. Kazeem earned his Ph.D. in Economics from the National University of Malaysia (UKM) in 2020, where he developed a standalone agent-based economic simulation platform to analyse Malaysia's energy transition and decarbonization policy scenarios. This innovative work led to three registered patents and publications in high-impact international journals. His research expertise spans energy transition modelling, energy poverty, decarbonization policy, and electricity market analysis, with a strong emphasis on combining econometric rigor with advanced computational methods. He is currently expanding his methodological scope by integrating agent-based modeling with computational econometrics to simulate and analyze complex, adaptive behaviors within energy systems. His ongoing work examines the interplay between Net-Zero targets, electricity subsidies, market reforms, and social vulnerability, aiming to generate data-driven insights that support equitable and efficient energy policies in Malaysia and across the world.
