Dr. Christoph Luderer

Researcher

CSince November 2023, Dr. Christoph Luderer has been working as a researcher and project manager in the Business Unit Electricity Markets and Infrastructures within the Department of Energy Policy and Energy Markets.

His field of research is energy system analysis, with a focus on modeling the supply side of the energy system and calculating the global potential of renewable energies.

Christoph Luderer studied physics at the University of Stuttgart and the University of Göttingen. From 2017 to 2021, he worked as a PhD student at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE in Freiburg in the field of Si photovoltaics (Sustainable Systems Engineering) and received his doctorate from the University of Freiburg in 2021. His dissertation dealt with the charge carrier transport properties of thin films and functional interfaces in solar cells with passivating contacts. He then worked for two years as a process engineer in semiconductor manufacturing at Robert Bosch GmbH in Reutlingen.
