Paul SAFONOV obtained his Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics (1995) from Institue of Control Sciences, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, on computer simulation and optimization of ecological-economic interactions using input-output models. After post-doc in Center for European Economic Research (ZEW), Mannheim, and University of Warsaw (1995-96) on German air pollution I-O model, he worked at University of Campinas (1997-1998) on emergy-based macromodel for Brazil, at Free University of Brussels (1999-2002) on urban development, mobility and traffic-borne emissions modelling. Dr. Safonov was co-founder (1993) and president (1997-2001) of the Russian Society for Ecological Economics. Since 2002 he is Professor of Information Systems in Business School at St. Cloud State University, Minnesota, USA, and during his 2012-13 sabbatical project “Sustainability Education with Ecological-Economic Modeling and Information Systems” he spends several months as Visiting Professor at REEDS.
