"A big thank you to Thirza van Laar for bringing fresh ideas, meteorological competences and a very positive attitude to our group" Christopher [Doctoral Researcher]
"I'm really enjoy working with Ricarda Rosemann on building sector modelling. Her addition to our team has strongly accelerated our model development and has been a catalyst for the progress of my PhD. Besides being highly skilled, she is also a very nice colleague to share the office with." Robin [Doctoral Researcher]

"We are incredibly fortunate to have Christopher Wollinin our team. His expertise in data processing and his willingness to assist with programming challenges have been invaluable to our success. We look forward to continuing to achieve great things together." Leila [Doctoral Researcher]
"What I particularly appreciate about Christopher Wollin is his passion, intellect, and extraordinary willingness to help. I wouldn't be where I am today without him. I will always be grateful to him for that!" Johannes [Doctoral Researcher]

"Our team has been incredibly fortunate to have Björn Sörgel as a member. His integrated analysis of climate mitigation and sustainable development stands out as one of the most inspiring contributions from our group. Beyond his exceptional work, we’ve greatly valued his inclusive and collaborative spirit and his dedication to broadening perspectives. Wishing you all the best, Björn, for everything that lies ahead" Robin [Doctoral Researcher]

"Having Philipp Verpoort on our team is truly a gift. Every conversation with him is an opportunity to learn something new. His passion for research shapes everything he does, and his curiosity drives him to engage with all aspects of the group. Philipp consistently offers insightful feedback on new ideas, helping both myself and other PhDs grow. Besides being smart and caring, he's incredibly funny, making him the ideal companion for conferences. We're lucky to have you in the group, Philipp!" Jarusch [Doctoral Researcher]

"A big thanks to Philipp Verpoort, who despite his very busy schedule (and being responsible for a seemingly boundless Ariadne report) always takes time to help navigate the surprisingly many pitfalls of calculating levelised costs. May POSTED get posted beyond GitHub one day". Adrian [Doctoral Researcher]
"Chris Chen Gong is a role model for me. She is never afraid to ask questions, she is hard-working and constantly learning new things that got her attention and excitement. At the same time she is warm and caring and most of all, always up for fun." Anne [Doctoral Researcher]

"Jiarui Zhong rocks! Not only does she rock in macro core and labor economics, but she is also impressive as a band member. Last summer, we had the pleasure of hearing her jazz vocals, and she introduced us to the beautiful sounds of the Chinese Pipa. Jiarui brings great energy to the group and can teach you about a wide range of topics, from fiscal policy to music. Thank you for bringing your unique talents and spirit to our team, Jiarui!" Jarusch [Doctoral Researcher]

"We can count ourselves blessed to have Laurin Köhler-Schindler in our team. His structured and pragmatic way of tackling challenges and organizing tasks is not just making meetings an almost fun activity – it is also super inspiring to me and already helped me a lot to better structure my own work. I am really grateful for such a receptive and caring colleague." Leon [Doctoral Researcher]
Your Colleagues Think You're Awesome! :)
"Jakob Dürrwächter is the first and only person to have understood the REMIND model solely by reading its code." Felix [Doctoral Researcher]
"I wish I could steal a bit of Alex Koptev's scientific focus and determination! For me he symbolizes the opposite of procrastination." Sabrina [Group Leader]
"I would like to thank Theresa Hennig for her constant support and guidance both professionally and personally!" Marie [Doctoral Researcher]
Your Colleagues Think You're Awesome! :)
"From the moment Jiarui Zhong introduced herself at the RD3 meeting, I think everyone knew we had just gained a very special team member! Not only is she one of the few real economists (!) in our group, but she’s also such a lovely and easy-going person. It’s inspiring to see how next to her academic career, she maintains so many other hobbies, like her musical talents (and speaking of which, we are all eagerly waiting for the next performance!)." Joanna [Doctoral Researcher]
"We're really fortunate to have Fabrice Lécuyer in our team because he contributes so much to the team's work and is able to create such a nice and friendly group through his presence. His keen interest, critical thinking, and quick learning really inspires me!" David [Doctoral Researcher]
