Background

About Thorsten Summ

Post-Doc researcher & engineer for sustainable building energy systems Application-oriented research for the energy transition in the building sector I head the Domestic Energy Systems research area at the Institute for New Energy Systems (InES) at Ingolstadt University of Applied Sciences. As a passionate engineer and research group leader, I drive the development of innovative energy solutions with a strong focus on real-world application and industry impact. I am now seeking to bring my expertise in sustainable technologies, system modeling, and cross-functional leadership into an innovation-driven industrial or consulting environment — contributing to digital and sustainable transformation across the energy sector. My focus areas: Sector coupling & integration of renewable energies in buildings Simulation, modeling & control of (de)centralized energy systems Energetic district concepts & intelligent supply solutions Long-term evaluation and optimization of system configurations My claim: Research that doesn't end up in a drawer - but makes a real contribution to the energy transition. I take an interdisciplinary approach, work in an application-oriented manner and rely on partnerships with industry, local authorities and other research institutions. 🤝 Let's network! I look forward to exchanging ideas on research topics, cooperation projects or new ideas for a sustainable energy future.
