Jakob Niehues

I am a doctoral researcher at TU Berlin and the Berlin Mathematical School. My supervisors are Volker Mehrmann, Jörg Raisch and Frank Hellmann. I am part of the group Infrastructure and Complex Networks at Research Department 4.

My research interests include collective phenomena on complex networks, nonlinear dynamics and synchronization. I am working on general analytical methods and simulation methods for renewable power grids. My goal is to improve modeling and gain insight into conditions for stability in a technology neutral formulation to aid the energy transition. The scope is to assess complex resilience scenarios in the context of climate change.

I studied physics at Humboldt University of Berlin and University of Copenhagen. My current university affiliation is numerical mathematics at TU Berlin, where I had a BIMoS scholarship, and the Berlin Mathematical School.

At PIK, I was a member of the PhD Representatives Team in the term 2023/24.
