About

Senior Electrical Engineer | System Design & Integration | Power Electronics & High Voltage Engineer As a Graduate Engineer (Diplom-Ingenieur) focused on Electrical Power Engineering, my expertise lies in mastering complex electrical systems. My technical foundation ranges from R&D in power electronics (WBG semiconductors) to the integration of large-scale energy supply and control systems in demanding industrial environments. I have extensive experience in coordinating technical subsystems and ensuring system reliability (FMECA) under rigorous standards. My goal is to drive innovative electrical solutions—across various industries—with a strong focus on efficiency, technical excellence, and high-performance hardware. Core Competencies: System Engineering: Holistic design and integration of complex electrical architectures (traction, power supply, control systems). Power Electronics & Hardware: Optimization of multilevel topologies and hands-on experience with modern WBG semiconductors. High Voltage Engineering: Solid expertise in testing and global commissioning of systems up to 750kV. Methodology & Analysis: Reliability analysis (FMECA), simulation (MATLAB/Simulink), and computer-aided circuit design. I am driven by technical challenges in high-performance electronics and the development of next-generation hardware systems.
