Kristin Barth

Kristin is a Visiting Student Researcher in Energy Science & Engineering at Stanford University in Adam Brandt’s Environmental Assessment & Optimization Group. Her research focuses on understanding the role of industrial process switching in achieving net-zero emissions, specifically by modeling hydrogen as an industrial feedstock in BRIDGES, a coupled gas-electric capacity expansion model. She holds a B.Sc. in Chemical Engineering from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and is completing a research internship at Stanford as part of her M.Sc. at TUM. 

Previously, she worked on sustainable aviation fuels at TUM’s Chair of Energy Systems and gained industry experience at a Munich-based direct air capture startup, in hydrogen safety at TÜV, and in natural gas at Linde Engineering. Kristin is a recipient of the DAAD ERA Green Hydrogen Fellowship and a Rotary Club Munich scholarship.
