Master's Thesis

We are always looking for talented and motivated students who want to work on the modeling, optimization, and analysis of multi-energy systems. Most of our projects are in close collaboration with industrial partners and hence of high practical relevance. Preliminary experience in programming, especially Matlab, is helpful but not necessary. Please contact me for information about available projects.

Available Projects:

• Currently, no specific projects are available. However, you can contact me if you are interested in my research to see if we can frame a project together.
