Personal Information
Simon has been a member of the RLS Graduate School since January 2026. His research focuses on the coupling of the heat and hydrogen sectors, with particular emphasis on increasing the efficiency of hydrogen production through the use of low temperature waste heat in existing and future heat supply systems. In this context, he investigates how and where an efficient coupling of the electricity, hydrogen, and heat sectors can be achieved. His work is supervised by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Lutz Dittmann (Berlin University of Applied Sciences and Technology) and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Clemens Felsmann (TU Dresden).
Simon’s professional background includes positions in various companies within the building and heating sector. His experience spans from hands-on work as a plant mechanic to engineering design in building and energy systems, as well as regulatory and funding-related activities at the German Energy Agency and project development and energy efficiency assessment for federal funding programmes at the Berlin Energy Agency. He has thus been involved in all value chain stages of heat supply systems.
Simon completed his Master’s thesis in 2023/2024 at the Reiner Lemoine Institute in the field of renewable energy based mobility on the topic of waste heat potentials of decentralised electrolyser systems in urban districts.
