MSc at Delft University of Technology
Marieke Kootte is a PhD Candidate in the Numerical Analysis group of Applied Mathematics at Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands. Her research focuses on fast and robust solvers for very large electricity networks. One of her main tasks is to develop efficient solvers to simulate the flow of electrical power through transmission and distribution networks. The energy transition is challenging the way we currently perform our power flow simulations, making the current models more complex and more detailed. Hence, the need for numerical analysis techniques to make sure we obtain solutions in a reasonable amount of time.
Marieke graduated in 2017 in Computer Simulations for Sciences and Engineering at both KTH Stockholm and TU Delft. She has always been interested in environmental challenges that can be solved using very large and complex simulations, by making most efficient use of computational power. In that sense, she has been working on simulations to harness electrical power from the conversion of the oceans’ thermal energy and at the climate research department of the Swedish Meteorological Institute, where she looked into speeding up climate models by combining detailed and coarse information. She enjoys talking about science in schools and to audiences that are not directly related to her field, hoping to spark their interest and to add some nuance in the debate.
