About

I am an entrepreneur, engineer and scientist, using my education and knowledge to create sustainable innovations to make the difference is driving me. Therefore, I founded the non-profit NGO Thriving Green and the Start-Up Futuro Farming before finally joining the Technology and Innovations Team of Vitesco Technologies. Thanks to my studies in "Sensor Technology and Analytics (B.Sc.)" and "Electrical and Microsystems Engineering (M.Eng.)" I was able to gain knowledge in the disciplines of physics, chemistry, software programming and semiconductor electronics. Completing my university education by successfully finishing my PhD in analytical chemistry I was able to achieve further assets regarding project managament and financing as well as gathering experience in team leading and the exploration of innovative top notch technology. As a board member and engineer of the award-winning project Thriving Green, I combat malnutrition in developing countries by supporting sustainable food concepts (e.g. growing the superfood algae Spirulina) with innovative sensor systems. As a new Technology Scout at Vitesco Technologies I use my skills and knowledge as an engineer and scientist to discover innovative technologies and concepts pathing the way for a sustainable and affordable mobility - for everyone. My education combined with my experiences from several projects provide me with the assets allowing me to develop and detect disruptive technologies in different areas to successfully tackle our global challenges.
