Professional

I completed my bachelor's degree in Mathematics, and a master's degree in Computational Science at the University of Vienna. During my undergraduate studies, I gained experience in two FemTech internships at the Center for Energy of the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology and have been employed there as a technician since May 2022. My academic skills include mathematical modelling, machine learning, data science, statistics and simulations related to the natural sciences and technologies in the programming languages Python, C++, R and Julia. My research focus includes energy economics, energy communities, industrial decarbonization, district heating and cooling systems, and infrastructure planning.
