Dominic Lencz, M.Sc.

Senior Research Associate & Chief Modeler

Dominic Lencz is a Senior Research Associate and Chief Modeler at EWI and a doctoral candidate at the University of Cologne. In consulting projects for clients from the industry and public sectors, he has analyzed, e.g., scenarios for market-based climate and resource protection policies in the buildings sector. He has advised, e.g., the German Energy Agency (dena), Open Grid Europe and RheinEnergie. His research focus lies in the field of modeling sector coupling and gas markets. Before joining EWI, Dominic Lencz studied Economics at Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster (Germany) and at Karlstad University (Sweden).
