Research Associate in the Data Analytics Group. Tasks include: • Development of classification and prediction models for applications in the fields of Predictive Maintenance, Smart Grid, and Social Network Analysis • Ongoing doctorate in the field of Explainable AI • Conception and co-preparation of project proposals • Scientific supervision of master theses and student assistants
Research visit at the State Key Laboratory of Modern Optical Instrumentation as part of my Master's thesis. Tasks conducted include: • Electromagnetic simulations (Meep, S4) of nanostructured photonic structures and fabrication of these using FIB (Focused Ion Beam); • Design and construction of a measurement setup for angle-resolved measurement of photoluminescence spectra; • Fabrication of atomic monolayers of semiconductor crystals (2D semiconductors) by mechanical exfoliation; • Investigation of the photoluminescence properties of the fabricated 2D semiconductors in interaction with the FIB-fabricated photonic structures.
• Conducted defect investigations on photolithography masks of the latest and next generations. • Developed specialized applications for defect analysis and visual representation of defect signatures. • Planned and executed experiments on the effects of backside cleaning of EUV masks during the resist development process and determined corresponding process windows. • Programmed scripts to integrate commercial software (e.g., Spotfire, WinSPC).
