    • Project Manager
      Nov 2022 - Present · 3 yrs 8 mos

      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.

  • Software Engineer / Software Entwickler im Public Sector at Capgemini
    Aug 2022 - Nov 2022 · 4 mos

    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.

  • University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (8 yrs 3 mos)
    • Scientific Researcher / Wissenschaftler
      Jun 2017 - Jun 2022 · 5 yrs 1 mo

      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.

  • Master Thesis / Masterarbeit at Max Planck Institut für die Physik des Lichts
    Oct 2015 - Dec 2016 · 1 yr 3 mos

    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.
