Short description

As part of the "Campus 100 II" project, I am investigating sector coupling in the energy transition as head of the "Economy and Society" group. I originally studied political science, and after completing my doctorate I worked as a social scientist on a number of research projects in Germany and the UK. Thematically, I conducted research on the material and energetic use of biomass, not least to provide a sound basis for regulation at the interface between energy and waste policy. In addition, the transformation of the energy system including the promotion of sustainable behavior and consumption patterns were further focal points of my work. Research partners have included the UK Department of the Environment, E.ON Central Networks UK, Refinery Heath, VSHEW, etc.

Selected sponsored projects
FacH2: The applied research project deals with the issue of skilled workers for a hydrogen economy. The aim of the project is to investigate which skilled workers with which skills are needed when and where, and how they can be recruited or trained. (Link to project)
H2-Interaktiv: The project visualizes networks of actors in the field of hydrogen research and the hydrogen economy and will make them available interactively via an online platform on the HY.SH website. The aim is to make information on technology development for green hydrogen visible. (Link to project)
WESTKÜSTE100: The project will construct a 30 MW electrolysis plant at the Heide refinery. This raises numerous socio-economic questions relating to sector coupling that need to be answered. (Link to project)
