Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJan Bohrer is an Associate Researcher and PhD candidate at ForWind with eight years of experience applying fluid dynamics, LES simulations, and measurement-based wind field reconstruction to wind farm control and resource assessment. He combines strong experimental skills—from building miniature LIDARs for wind-tunnel and drone use to particle-based cloud microphysics simulations—with data-driven methods and CFD expertise developed at VKI, Freiburg and Leibniz institutes. His background spans energy science, atmospheric physics and machine-learning-informed control (e.g., ANNSolar), giving him a rare cross-disciplinary fluency between field measurement, numerical modeling and control design. Jan has made his research and reproducible code public on GitHub (including a Python cloud microphysics module), reflecting a commitment to open science and practical tools. He brings hands-on industry experience from wind farm development at UKA, so his work is grounded in real-world planning constraints as well as theory. Motivated by sustainability, he couples technical depth with long-standing engagement in ecological initiatives and climate-action communities.
