Sebastian Zwickl-Bernhard
Sebastian is a research associate and PhD candidate at the Energy Economics Group (EEG). He joined EEG already in 2018 as a teaching assistant and after graduating in Electrical Engineering (Energy Systems and Automation Engineering) at TU Wien in 2020, he started his PhD studies. At EEG, Sebastian significantly contributes in research to open source modelling and scientific publishing in renowed journals. He also is significantly involved in teaching and supervision of bachelor and master students. His expertise is in open source modeling of energy systems with a high spatial granularity and energy network representation. He is involved in different national and European projects, focusing in particular on techno-economic trade-offs and optimal decision trajectories in energy systems to achieve the medium-term ("Fit-for-55") and long-term climate targets ("1.5°C climate target").
