Marieke Kootte

Marieke Kootte serves as an Assistant Professor in Applied Mathematics at TU Delft, where she specializes in developing numerical solutions for complex power systems. After completing her master's degree in Computer Simulations for Science and Engineering through a joint program at KTH Stockholm and TU Delft in 2017, she pursued her PhD in numerical analysis at TU Delft. Her research focuses on creating efficient computational methods for integrated power flow simulations, particularly addressing the challenges of combining transmission and distribution networks. She has made significant contributions to power system modeling through her work on developing frameworks for integrated electrical steady-state power flow simulations. Her expertise spans environmental challenges requiring complex simulations, including work on ocean thermal energy conversion and climate modeling at the Swedish Meteorological Institute. Beyond her technical work, she actively engages in science communication, sharing her knowledge with diverse audiences to promote understanding of computational solutions in energy systems. Currently, she contributes to the development of numerical techniques for solving large-scale power flow problems, particularly focusing on making simulations more efficient as power systems become increasingly complex due to the energy transition.
