About

PhD Student at Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK)

Details

I studied physics at Humboldt University in Berlin. During a year abroad at UC Santa Barbara, I was introduced to industrial ecology by Roland Geyer. Back in Germany, I started working as a student assistant for Helga Weisz at PIK and finished my Bachelor's degree with a thesis on "Complex Network Analysis of the International Trade Network".

For my Master's degree, I moved to the Netherlands to join the MSc programme in Industrial Ecology at Leiden University and TU Delft. I finished my Master's with a thesis on "Building Decarbonisation at Scale: Dynamic Stock-Flow Modelling of Pathways Across Germany's 400 districts and cities", supervised by Tomer Fishman.

Currently I'm a PhD student at PIK, working on sub-national modelling of greenhouse gas emissions for Germany, with a focus on residential buildings, co-supervised by Helga Weisz and Felix Creutzig.

I live in Berlin and enjoy swimming and running in my free time.
