Daniel Jung, Ph.D.
Scientific Computing and Energy Networks Modeling Specialist
About
Daniel was born in Wildeshausen, Germany, in 1983. He studied Physics at Bremen University and specialized in the area of theoretical condensed matter physics. He received a Ph.D. in General Physics from Constructor University, Bremen. His research interests have since shifted towards electricity and gas networks modeling, critical infrastructure interdependencies, security of supply, and the energy transition at large. His focus has ever since remained on computational methods, programming and simulation methods.
