3 over 100
Christoph is one of three directors at the Helmholtz Institute Erlangen-Nürnberg for Renewable Energy (HI ERN) who have reached an h-index above 100—a rare milestone that reflects sustained scientific excellence. The h-index captures both productivity and influence: an h-index of 100 means at least 100 publications have each been cited 100+ times. Within HI ERN’s leadership, the current figures (Google Scholar) are remarkable:
- Prof. Peter Wasserscheid — h-index 110
- Prof. Christoph Brabec — h-index 158 (also recognized as a “Highly Cited Researcher” by Clarivate since 2011 ongoing)
- Prof. Karl Mayrhofer — h-index 100
These achievements underscore how HI ERN research sets standards across renewable energies, energy storage, and sustainable technologies—from fundamental insights to practical solutions that move the field forward.
