About myself

I studied Energy and Process Engineering at the Technical University of Berlin, where I graduated in spring 2007. Currently I am working as a PhD student in Research Domain III (Sustainable Solutions) at the PIK institute. The focus of my research is the development of tools for modelling energy and economic systems of developing countries.

In my PhD project I work on the large scale integration of fluctuating renewable energy sources into power systems. Specifically, I am developing an integrated modeling framework to examine coordinated expansion scenarios for renewable generation capacities and transmission infrastructure for the European power grid. My supervisor is Prof. Edenhofer.

My work at PIK is funded by a scholarship of the Reiner Lemoine Stiftung.
