Short bio:

Philipp is a PhD student in the Energy Transition and Climate Futures group at IT:U. His current research focuses on uncertainty in the steel industry decarbonisation, using techno-economic assessments (TEA).

He holds an M.Sc. in Materials Science from the JLU Giessen and the UNIPD Padua. As a research assistant at the Institute of Experimental Physics I at the JLU Giessen, he worked with catalytic semiconductor materials for photoelectrochemical hydrogen generation. During his master’s thesis at the Department of Chemical Sciences at the UNIPD Padua, he investigated the electrochemical conversion of nitrate, a common water pollutant, to valuable green ammonia.
