Prof. Dr. Frauke Wiese serves as Junior Professor for the Transformation of Energy Systems at Europa-Universität Flensburg since 2020, leading the interdisciplinary junior research group on Energy Sufficiency within the Department for Sustainable Energy Transition and the Department of Energy and Environmental Management. She studied Energy and Environmental Management as an industrial engineering program at Universität Flensburg, completing her diploma thesis in 2008 on the impacts of offshore wind energy on coal power plant operations in Brunsbüttel. Wiese earned her PhD in 2015, funded by the Reiner Lemoine Foundation, focusing on open-source modeling of energy systems. Prior to her current position, she worked as a project manager at Deutsche Umwelthilfe in Berlin, addressing social acceptance of the energy transition. She co-developed the renpass electricity system model at Europa-Universität Flensburg and served as a postdoctoral researcher at the Technical University of Denmark, where she advanced open and collaborative energy system models in the Energy System Analysis Group, contributed to the Future Gas project analyzing gases in energy transformation, and taught courses on open energy system modeling and analysis in the Master Sustainable Energy Systems program. As a co-initiator of the Open Energy Modelling Initiative, she promotes open data and open-source practices in energy system research.
