Roles & Research Statement

My main research interest lies in the power adaptivity of various power demand units, be it data centres (EU FP7 SME Projects Fit4Green, ALL4Green and DC4 Cities) or electric vehicles (EU H2020 RIA project Electrific) and the interaction with the power system (e.g. via demand response). I am looking at this from various viewpoints, amongst which are optimization modeling (MILP) but also scenario building, business modeling and market analysis. Obviously, I am flexible regarding methodology, but I am thoroughly fascinated by the new paradigm of the future energy system that needs to rely on both flexible demand and supply. What I enjoy most, is working with a highly motivated, interdisciplinary team on paving the way for the energy turnaround.

My role in research activities is the lead of EU collaborative projects with regards to GreenIT and context-aware power consumption for the University of Mannheim.

In consistency with my research interest I support Scientists4Future. Please contact me in case you need support on this issue.
