We are happy to welcome Artur dos Santos Heerdt to our group as a PhD student. His research will focus on evaluating the implications of electricity market design for power system security in the context of the energy transition. This will involve extending the group’s models to investigate recent policy developments and explore alternative market designs.
We are delighted to welcome Federica Tamburini to our group as a Postdoctoral Researcher. Supported by the ETH Postdoctoral Fellowship, her work focuses on developing an integrated ex-ante framework for inherently safe and sustainable hydrogen energy networks. She holds both a BSc and an MSc in Chemical Engineering from the University of Bologna, Italy, and earned her PhD in Engineering through a joint program between the University of Bologna, Italy and NTNU, Norway.
The RRE Lab recently spent three days together on a winter retreat in Matt. The retreat combined a series of workshops on research practices, intercultural training, and collaborative discussions on how to make RRE an even better place to work and grow. Alongside the academic activities, we enjoyed skiing and hiking in the winter landscape. It was a rewarding and bonding experience that strengthened our connections and shared vision as a group.
