Research Interests
- Sustainability & Corporate Response – Strategies and organizational actions in the face of climate change.
- Acceptance of AI in Industry – Adoption, trust, and algorithm aversion.
- Hydrogen in Germany – Techno-economic analyses, policy frameworks, and industrial applications.
Short Bio
I am working at the intersection of innovation, sustainability, and technology adoption. My research spans hydrogen techno-economics in the German industrial context, corporate responses to climate change, and human–AI interaction, particularly interventions to reduce algorithm aversion in industry.
Building on my background in Applied & Engineering Physics, I began with hands-on laboratory research on catalytic materials for hydrogen reactions and transitioned into techno-economic and socio-technical analyses. My current work integrates engineering, economic modelling, and organizational science to bridge the gap between scientific innovation and large-scale adoption.
My goal is to drive meaningful progress in technology and sustainability, contributing to solutions that create lasting, tangible impact.
