DrJuergen Heinz Martin Peterseim

Juergen finished his Industrial Engineering Degree in 2003 in Germany and has since worked in the power industry in the field of industrial ecology with a focus on heat recovery systems, energy from biomass and waste, as well as concentrated solar power. This work required skills to assess technical, economic, environmental, and social aspects of projects in order to realise the best outcome for various clients.
In March 2011 Juergen started a PhD at the Institute for Sustainable Futures. The topic of his research is "Investigating the role of concentrating solar power hybrid plants using non-conventional back-up fuels in Australia".
Since 2018 Juergen is an Adjunct Professor at our faculty and is working on sustainable energy, urban-industrial symbioses, sector coupling and net-zero emission related projects.
