I am a post-doctoral research at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences in Vienna. Currently, I focus on the modeling of intermittent renewables, particularly wind and photovoltaic production. The distribution of their spatial and temporal production potentials requires the design of advanced market regulations and subsidy policies to allow for a large-scale integration of intermittent producers in the electricity system. My interest in agent based models increased significantly in the last year as I understand that it is a tool that can better account for interactions and learning of participants in electricity markets than the traditionally applied optimization models can do.
 
I like mountain biking and hope to have some good opportunities in Santa Fe.

After finishing my master in computer science at the University of Technology in Vienna, I decided that I wanted to apply some of the stuff I've learnt in a useful field and enrolled in the doctoral school sustainable development at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU), also in Vienna. During my doctoral studies, I developed a model to assess bioenergy policies with respect to their techno-economic performance and their effects on greenhouse gas emissions Pub1 Pub2 with a special focus on the assessment of uncertainty.

Not very convinced of the data intensive, large scale modeling efforts applied in my PhD thesis, I went on to use much simplier models in my post-doctoral research which I'm currently conducting at the Joint Research Center in Petten, Netherlands, at BOKU in Vienna and at UFRJ in Rio de Janeiro (starting in 2014). I changed my focus to the quantitative analysis of policies for the support of intermittent renewable energy generation Pub3 Pub4 My interest in the CSSS started when I found some very nice publications on the modeling of electricity markets using agent based models see Pub5- thus being able to better account for strategic behaviour of agents which may be, depending on market design and size, an important issue.

I love nature and I hope to have some good opportunities exploring it around Santa Fe - either hiking or biking. Also, I enjoy music activley (passionate but bumbling in a samba group and as dj) as well as passivley - and any kind of party related activities.
