Clara Bachorz

Bio

I am a researcher at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), where I model the role of hydrogen in future energy systems. My work maps transition pathways for hard-to-abate industry, with a focus on steel, and identifies robust strategies for policymakers.

• Graduate Scientist

  Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics (MPQ) - Full-time From October 2020 to June 2022

  I worked on developing a quantum simulator based on ultracold atoms in optical lattices, under the supervision of Prof. Monika Aidelsburger.

• PhD researcher

  Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research - Full-time From November 2022 to Present

  My research focuses on the role of hydrogen in hard-to-abate sectors, and is supervised by Prof. Dr. Gunnar Luderer and Prof. Dr. Falko Ueckerdt. I map out transition pathways for hard-to-abate industries, with a focus on steel, and identify robust strategies for policymakers.
