Dresden, Saxony, Germany
My fascination with how things work began in childhood, dismantling machines and launching homemade rockets. This early curiosity has since evolved into a deep passion for engineering and innovation. As a mechanical engineering student at TU Dresden specializing in interdisciplinary lightweight construction, I focus on additive manufacturing, materials science, and process optimization. At Fraunhofer IWS, I work as a research assistant on cutting-edge projects in aerospace and medical technology. Throughout my academic and professional journey, I’ve been driven by a desire to develop practical, high-impact engineering solutions. My experience includes digital twin development, process optimization for advanced manufacturing technologies, and computational modeling. I’ve received a Jugend forscht award, ranked among the top graduates in Saxony, and actively contribute to the aerospace community through EUROAVIA. I’m always eager to connect with professionals and researchers who share a passion for aerospace, additive manufacturing, and advanced engineering solutions.
Supporting research and development in the field of additive manufacturing with a focus on Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) for aerospace and biomedical applications. Tasks include 3D model preparation, machine operation, data evaluation, and optimization of print parameters.
Contributed to the KryoHeater project in collaboration with Airbus Defence and Space, aimed at advancing spacecraft thermal control systems through innovative heater design. • Optimized an additive manufacturing process for space heaters, reducing electrical resistivity by 46% and error rates by 12%, significantly enhancing reliability. • Developed a predictive performance model with <5% deviation, improving design accuracy, development time, and cost-efficiency. • Conducted thermal and mechanical simulations to validate design performance, achieving superior temperature regulation and integration efficiency. • Results contributed to setting new benchmarks in aerospace heater development.
• Provided individualized tutoring in mathematics, physics, and chemistry for high school and early university students. • Focused on strengthening conceptual understanding, exam preparation, and problem-solving skills in STEM subjects.
• Supported the digitalization of mathematics education, including integration of digital tools and platforms. • Provided targeted tutoring and exam preparation for students approaching the Abitur (German high-school diploma). • Developed individual learning strategies to strengthen mathematical understanding and performance.
• Collaborated on the development of a sustainable insulation material derived from corn cobs. • Co-designed a mechanical pick-up system for integration with agricultural harvesting machines (combine harvesters). • Contributed to prototype development, material testing, and the evaluation of drying processes for agricultural byproducts. • Gained experience in sustainability research, patent law, and interdisciplinary cooperation across agriculture and mechanical engineering.
