PhD research
My work is part of the AtLAST- the Atacama Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope project. I model and simulate hybrid energy and energy storage systems which can supply the new observatory in Chile with (mostly) renewable energy sources.
I work with energy system optimization models in GAMS, simulate specific system components in Matlab/Simulink, and integrate life cycle assessment with Simapro.
Background
I hold a M.Eng. degree in Mechanical Engineering for Renewable Energies, for which I studied at the University of Applied Sciences Berlin, and the KTH Royal Institute of Technology Stockholm. Conducted my master thesis at the German Aerospace Center on reducing complexity in sector-coupled energy systems. B.Sc. in Environmental and Sustainability Sciences from the Leuphana University Lüneburg.
Prior work included the German Aerospace Center, Aurora Energy Research, and the University of Toronto - Drinking Water Research Group.
