Dr.-Ing. Christine Partmann
The mechanical engineer with a doctorate has already been accompanying cruh21 since January 2021 - at that time still as an external consultant - and has been working at cruh21 since April 2021.
As the former head of the teaching and research area "Innovative Energy Technologies" at the Chair of Hydrogen and Nuclear Energy Technology at Dresden University of Technology, she and her team were dedicated to application-oriented research into energy conversion processes and technologies until fall 2019. In particular, hydrogen was in focus as a key technology for the energy transition; including the production of hydrogen as well as the safety assessment of the entire hydrogen value chain.
Until April 2021, Dr. Partmann worked at DNV GL Energy Advisory GmbH as a senior consultant, advising clients worldwide on hydrogen strategy projects together with international teams.
With this combination of many years of expertise in the areas of research and research funding as well as strategic international project development, management, and consulting, Dr. Partmann develops customized solutions together with our customers, especially with a focus on hydrogen and sector coupling.
