Start of the Third Set of Bridging Projects
On March 1st, 2022, scholarship holder Markus Leyser (research project BR3 "Automated and Interpretable Modeling of the Energy Market using Machine Learning Methods") started his work at the Boysen TUD Research Training Group. The third of a total of four bridging projects that have been applied for deals with the development and implementation of various algorithms and software products with the primary goal of modeling the energy supply and demand for forecasting the use of so-called "excess" energy. This energy is available at times when the energy demand (over a longer period of time) is lower than the energy potential or supply available at the time and, for reasons of sustainability and economy, could be used for electricity-intensive water electrolysis as part of the production of "green hydrogen".
Markus Leyser sweetened his start at the RTG with cake and fruit
At this point, Mr. Leyser was also given the opportunity to say a few introductory words about the start of his research project:
I look forward to advancing our projects with all members of the Boysen TU Dresden Research Training Group. Even on my first days, I felt that the right working atmosphere and a warm, respectful cooperation prevailed here. I am fascinated by how interdisciplinarity is practiced here every day, with research topics being constructively discussed and worked on together. Our different professional backgrounds help us to look at each topic from different angles.
It encourages me to be certain of the support of the Boysen-TUD-RTG and the Chair of Big Data Analytics in Transportation. This enables me to tackle my project "Automated and Interpretable Modeling of the Energy Market using Machine Learning Methods" with full force and to do justice to its topicality. What motivates me in particular is that I can combine my interest in infrastructure sectors with the fun side of machine learning. Here I can use my knowledge and experience from studying electrical engineering at KIT and studying transport economics at TU Dresden. Thanks to the other doctoral students, I can think outside the box and embed my work in the overall social and technical contexts. (Markus Leyser)
We wish Mr. Leyser all the success for his research project. His enthusiasm for scientific, interdisciplinary work at the Boysen TUD Research Training Group provides inspiration for us all. Welcome to the team!
