As a passionate research and development engineer, I have driven the convergence of science, industry and social benefit for 19 years. My claim: Disruptive research becomes tangible innovation - from visionary concepts to scalable technology transfer. I design and realize high-tech mechatronic systems, deploy cutting-edge AI and sensor technologies and orchestrate international industrial projects throughout the complete development cycle - from proof of concept to global market diffusion. My work always focuses on sustainable value creation, societal impact and preparing for future challenges. I am enthusiastic about driving progress at the intersection of disciplines and am actively seeking opportunities for a career transition into the trend fields of human & health technology, advanced materials and aerospace. I bring cross-industry expertise, a strong innovation mindset and a proven record in technology transfer and future-oriented project leadership. For me, technology transfer means more than gaining insights: as a thought leader, I identify megatrends (automation, digitalization, resource-efficient production) early and help companies and research networks reach the next level. As a secondary role, I mentor talent as a lecturer and innovation coach - empowering the next generation to turn complex future scenarios into real-world solutions. Let’s shape tomorrow’s world together - through visionary engineering, trend-driven transfer and collaborative partnerships.
Strategic alignment with forward-looking of business fields Setting up and building up of business contacts in research & development (R&D) Development of our own identity - own service, own products, reference projects Development of (international) projects with industrial companies and research institutions; Presentation of the research results at international conferences Strategic and technical project coordination
Comprehensive instruction in specialist knowledge and practical experience in the lecture series Magnetic Bearing Technology, Sensor Technology, and Fundamentals of Mechatronics. My credo: An engineer relies on four guiding forces - the mind (knowledge), the heart (passion), the gut (experience), and the thumb (intuition). Active recruitment of young talents for student thesis projects and my preliminary research initiatives.
