Experience
Power Systems Analyst
Flensburg Hochschule
- Analysed German transmission networks with > 70% renewable penetration, running N-1 contingency studies to quantify grid resilience.
- Develop sector coupling energy models for Germany 2030-2050 with high spatial and temporal resolution.
- Quantified technical & economic benefits of flexibility levers such as Dynamic Line Rating (DLR) or Demand Side Management (DSM).
- Co-develop and maintain eTraGo, an open-source Python tool for techno-economic network optimisation and spatial/temporal clustering.
Research Assistant
Flensburg Hochschule
- Coded Python modules to analyse sector-coupled grid flexibility and implement Dynamic Line Rating for German network studies.
- Evaluated solar- and wind-farm siting potential with geo-data and delivered technical reports.

- Performed short-circuit, stability and harmonics analysis; drafted regulatory-impact reports.
Substation Engineer
Siemens S.A.
- Designed HV substation automation systems (110–500 kV), including control/protection schematics and panel layouts.
- Supported project execution, technical proposals, and client coordination.
- improved engineering processes in line with ISO 9001 and safety standards.
Electrical Engineer
Enel - Codensa S.A.
- Performed reliability analyses for urban and rural distribution networks.
- Identified optimal equipment locations (e.g., reclosers, sectionalizers) to maximise service quality and investment impact.
- Supervised field installations in compliance with safety regulations and technical standards.
Summary
I’m an electrical engineer with nine years of professional experience, including five years focused on power systems analysis and modeling.
I develop high-resolution, sector-coupled energy models to support grid planning and evaluate the impact of flexibility measures such as DLR and DSM.
My expertise includes quantifying network and storage expansion needs using mathematical optimization, and understanding how the energy transition influences system stability and investment decisions.
I enjoy working in collaborative, international teams and am motivated by building tools that turn complexity into clarity for a sustainable energy future.
