STAFF DETAILS
Christiaan Martinson
Christiaan holds a B.Eng and a M.Eng in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the North-West University. During his Masters (2011-2012) at HySA Infrastructure he worked on a project entitled: “Characterisation of a PEM electrolyser using the current interrupt method”, where the current interrupt method was utilised to electrochemically characterise a PEM electrolyser by means of an equivalent electric circuit. He is currently pursuing a PhD in electrical engineering and worked as a software engineer. He rejoined HySA Infrastructure in mid 2018 and is currently employed as a research engineer. His field of expertise, include: Modelling and simulation of energy systems; Software automation, control, and data analysis of experimental systems; Cross-platform desktop and mobile software development.
