Zurich, Switzerland
I am a dedicated engineering professional with over 20 years experience in scientific research and product development. I have successfully launched products after leading them from concept to reality. Key Accomplishments: - 5 patents - 17 peer reviewed journal papers + 79 conference proceedings - developed market-leading product on electromagnetic exposure measurement, from concept to release - developed product for dielectric spectroscopy, from concept to release - published standards on electromagnetic exposure: IEEE 1528, IEC/IEEE 62209-1528 - managed test and calibration laboratories and achieved ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation
- Leadership of international research consortium on development of novel techniques for improved assessment of worker exposure to low-frequency electromagnetic fields. - Development and implementation of algorithms for fast dosimetric analysis. - Implementation of test methods for safety assessment of MR imaging of patients with active implantable medical devices (ISO/TS 10974). - Assessment of human exposure from consumer & professional appliances (including induction stoves, compact fluorescent bulbs and magnetic therapy mats) with respect to international standards. - Publication of research in peer-reviewed journals. Presentation to scientific conferences, regulatory agencies and standards bodies. - Supervision of PhD students.
I led the hardware and software development, from initial concept to market release, for two market-leading products: cSAR3D and DAK. I managed a calibration laboratory and successfully attained ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation. I have been directly involved in hardware development, programming, testing, documentation, marketing, and customer support.
