I am fascinated by working on energy systems and the challenges associated with them. A reliable and sustainable energy supply is the most important requirement for technical applications. I am working on electrical energy supply and its interfaces to other forms of energy such as thermal energy. My focus is on modeling and optimization of coupled energy systems. In my current research project I am working on DC grids on ships offering great potential to reduce green house gas emissions from shipping and simplify the integration of various renewable energy sources. I am attracted by the novel approach and the wide solution range as well as the numerous possibilities for the development of a topology-optimized coupled energy system.
