Dr Frank Hellmann

I research the dynamics of energy and electricity systems from a complex systems perspective. The main focus is on using probabilistic methods to understand and control high dimensional networked dynamical systems.

Complex Network Dynamics

Before joining PIK to work on renewable energies I worked in Loop Quantum Gravity. I did my PhD at the University of Nottingham and a Postdoc at the Albert Einstein Institute (MPI for Gravitational Physics) in Golm. A science slam where I presented this research can be found here.
