Open Energy Transition
Martha holds an M.Sc. in Mathematics from FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg and a PhD from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. Her journey with PyPSA, the renowned open-source energy planning optimization framework, began in 2019 as she started her PhD studies and joined the core development team. Her focus was on achieving an accurate representation of the electricity grid and ensuring its secure operation today and in a future, more renewable, system. After graduating in 2023, she co-founded Open Energy Transition (OET), a non-profit environmental think tank and software company dedicated to addressing energy planning challenges. At OET, Martha takes the lead in Energy System Modeling and Optimization.

Open Energy Transition
I am a physicist and programmer with a focus on energy system modeling. As a core developer of PyPSA, a software tool for energy system modeling, I am deeply interested in renewable energy and a fast transition to a more sustainable future. My work involves the efficient formulation and handling of large optimization problems to model the future, low-carbon energy infrastructure in Europe. After finishing my PhD in physics in Frankfurt, Germany, I worked as a Postdoc at the Technical University of Berlin, developing and maintaining the open-source PyPSA ecosystem.
