Short Bio

Florian Steinke is a full professor at TU Darmstadt and heads the Energy Information Networks & Systems lab since 2017.

Prior to this, he was with Siemens Corporate Technology, Automation & Control, in Munich from 2009-2017. He lead the development of a functional architecture & algorithms for an island grid control system with up to 100% renewables, lead the development for a multimodal energy system analysis & optimization tool for studying complete countries as well as specific hybrid energy projects, and contributed to several other research projects in the energy domain, but also for hearing aids, ore grinding mills, intelligent traffic control systems, and semantic web computing. In 2009, he received a PhD for his work at the Max-Planck-Institute for Biological Cybernetics, Tübingen (departement now in MPI for Intelligent Systems), in Machine Learning. In 2005, he obtained a Diploma degree in Computational Physics from the Eberhardt-Karls-Universität Tübingen
