Fraunhofer Center Digital EnergyI studied B.Sc. Environmental Engineering at Bremen University of Applied Sciences and the Technical University of Denmark, with a focus on plants for generating energy from biomass and municipal waste. At RWTH Aachen University, I completed a Master's degree in Sustainable Energy Supply with a focus on the technical and regulatory framework for the expansion and distribution of renewable energies. My professional career began at the Aachen Chamber of Industry and Commerce, where I worked as a consultant for the energy industry on recommendations for shaping the political and economic framework conditions for (particularly energy-intensive) companies.
Since 2019, I have been working as a research associate at the Fraunhofer FIT in the Center for Digital Energy and, in addition to project management of larger projects, I work on studies in the areas of advanced metering infrastructure (in the local context, smart metering systems) and the overarching digitalization strategies for distribution network operators. Two closely interlinked topics and essential building blocks for the success of the energy transition, as they enable the integration and activation of different players in the energy system.
