I am an energy system modeller at the Institute for Automation and Applied Informatics of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), where I wrote my dissertation on computational and near-optimal trade-offs in renewable electricity system modelling.

I studied Sustainable Energy Systems at the University of Edinburgh and industrial engineering centred on computational methods in energy research at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. I also briefly worked at Fraunhofer ISI.

I am a member of the Open Energy Modelling Initiative, which promotes openness and transparency in energy system modelling and I also co-develop open-source software:

• PyPSA is a power system analysis toolbox written in Python.
• PyPSA-Eur is a workflow to build an open model of the European electricity system.
• PyPSA-Eur-Sec is the sector-coupling extension of PyPSA-Eur.
