Almut Herzog

I completed my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in computer science at RWTH Aachen University. During my studies, I discovered my particular interest in applying my specialist knowledge to the challenges of modern power grids.

Therefore, I am currently working as a research assistant at the Fraunhofer FIT in the Digital Energy Center and am pursuing a PhD at the Institute for High Voltage Equipment and Grids, Digitalization and Energy Economics (IAEW) at RWTH Aachen University. In my research and day-to-day work, I focus on analyzing and communicating knowledge about cyber security in power grids.
