The Fraunhofer IIS gives me the chance of developing my skills into a new direction - project management in the groups Medical Sensor Systems and Medical Data Analysis. I was hired to support in the development of novel medical wearables involving sophisticated AI algorithms for data analysis and embedded medical applications. I am excited to gain new knowledge in these fields and work with highly motivated and innovative people to help create brilliantly engineered and secure products.
Capgemini gave me the opportunity of experiencing the exciting field of software development for the public sector. I mainly coded Java, which I haven't really done before. However, due to my experience with C++, I was able to quickly oriented myself and was able to actively contribute to the project.
Studying gold nanoparticle synthesis, nucleation, and stability with neutron and x-ray scattering techniques. Research in this topic required frequent visits to large-scale facilities like synchrotron sources in ESFZ (Grenoble) Elettra (Triest) as well as nuclear reactors like FRM-II (Garching) and ILL (Grenoble). The project required creative thinking, as the research field was highly competitive and many experimental pathways had already been exhausted. I successfully combined various complementary methods to gain novel insight into the anisotropic growth of nanoparticles, which I presented in different scientific talks and posters as well as in several publications. This project will be finished in June 2022.
Lehrstuhl für Informationstechnik (Kommunikationselektronik)
The thesis spanned over several different fields of natural sciences, namely optical and nanoplasmonic physics, biophotonic and biomolecular science and surface chemistry. The goal was to study the behavior of labeled DNA molecules in the vicinity of plasmonically enhanced whispering gallery mode resonators.
