Research Focus

I am an energy systems researcher working at the intersection of engineering and economics, with a particular focus on how electricity markets behave under high shares of renewable energy.

As a postdoctoral researcher, I work on agent-based modelling, energy market simulation, and storage and flexibility analysis. I am one of the lead developers of AMIRIS, an open-source agent-based electricity market model adopted by research groups across Europe. My work combines simulation methods with machine learning and software engineering, and increasingly engages with the social and economic dimensions of the energy transition.

Beyond academic publishing, I care about building tools and methods that other researchers can use and build upon. This is why open-source development and reproducibility following FAIR principles are central to how I work.

I am based in Vienna and open to collaborations on the European energy system.
