Introduce

As a project manager at New Energy Coalition I combine my background in green chemistry with a keen eye for current energy issues. My studies and previous work focused on the carbon cycle. Based on this foundation, I conducted research on air and soil pollution and worked on the development of sustainable residential areas. I now apply this knowledge to accelerate the energy transition. I work on innovative projects involving hydrogen, carbon capture, and sustainable urban logistics. Circular carbon is a recurring theme in my work.
