Fraunhofer Center Digital EnergyAfter completing my B.Eng. in Energy Management and Renewable Energy at Aschaffenburg University of Applied Sciences, I specialized in "Electrical Energy Systems" during my Master's studies, and graduated with an M.Sc. in 2015, presenting my Master's thesis on the topic "Multiterminal HVDC for Wind Power Integration and AC Network Support." After my studies, I initially worked for two years at Trianel GmbH, contributing to the operation and further development of the virtual power plant for regulating power marketing, before moving to RWTH Aachen as a research associate and doctoral candidate. There, in addition to my work in the project development team and leading the "Automation, Interoperability, and Resilience" group, I primarily focused on a graph-based representation and analysis of interdependent network infrastructures to identify critical components and assess the vulnerability of the overall system.
This thematic focus also accompanies me in my current role as a research associate and senior engineer in the Automated Energy Systems group at Fraunhofer FIT, which I joined at the end of 2023. In addition to my doctoral research, I am engaged with (energy) data spaces and modular control systems as the main topics of my research group, particularly regarding offer and project development as well as strategic direction.
