About

I am a postdoctoral researcher at DIW Berlin, department Energy, Transportation, Environment. I studied economics in Tübingen and Copenhagen and received my PhD from TU Berlin.

My research focuses on energy and environmental economics. I apply methods from OR and microeconometrics to analyze questions around the transition to renewable energies.

I am a lecturer for renewable electricity economics at HTW Berlin.
