About

With over six years at Merck, first as a working student, then as Digital Analytics Engineer and now as Digital Product Manager, I use advanced analytics and modern manufacturing practices to optimize and digitalize crucial processes, ensure operational consistency and improve yields in the semiconductor industry. My work combines strategic thinking, project management and digitalization to deliver solutions with measurable impact. I am in the final stage of my PhD on the organizational assimilation of generative AI and digital transformation, with several publications under review in these areas. I hold an M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology with a major in Computer Engineering and a patent in #SmartManufacturing.
