Alexander Geiger

My research interests as a research associate at the Center for Digital Energy focus on the secure and efficient digitalization of energy grids. In this context, I work on projects involving innovative control systems, data models, and co-simulation.

My academic background at RWTH Aachen University spans electrical engineering and computer science, with a master’s thesis on modeling and deductive verification of security aspects in energy grids. Additionally, I gained professional experience in software development and operations at Ericsson and the legal tech startup Taxy.io.
