Lars-Peter Lauven

Lars-Peter Lauven is Professor of Resource and Energy Systems at TU Dortmund University's Faculty of Spatial Planning. His research examines energy system optimization with a focus on sustainable resource management and grid economics.

Holds a PhD in Economics from University of Göttingen (2008-2011) and a Diploma in Industrial Engineering from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (2002-2007). Professional experience includes leadership roles at Fraunhofer Institute for Energy Economics and Energy System Technology (2022-2024) and University of Kassel (2018-2024).

Research focuses on modeling energy systems, renewable energy integration, and economic aspects of grid management. Lauven investigates optimization strategies for sustainable resource utilization in energy production and distribution systems.

Current projects analyze economic dimensions of renewable resource allocation and grid infrastructure development. Research methodologies combine economic modeling with technical systems analysis.

Teaching emphasizes the integration of energy systems knowledge with spatial planning principles, preparing students for sustainable infrastructure development challenges.
