About
Doctoral Researcher 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 got introduced to industrial ecology by Roland Geyer. Once back in Germany, I started working as a research 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 (now published: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.resconrec.2024.108117).
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 and the distributional impacts of the energy transition, supervised by Felix Creutzig, Helga Weisz und Peter-Paul Pichler.
I live in Berlin and enjoy swimming and running in my free time.
