I am thrilled to share a significant achievement in my academic journey – the successful completion of my Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering! During the research for my Bachelor's thesis, I explored the applications of FBG fibers in fuel cells, laying the foundation for my passion in photonics. As I celebrate this milestone, I'm excited to announce that my journey in electrical engineering doesn't end here, as I'll be continuing my academic pursuit with a Master's Degree at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg, diving even deeper into the fascinating realm of electrical engineering. The Master's program will provide a platform to further explore these interests and contribute to the field. As I embark on this next phase, I am eager to connect with fellow professionals, researchers, and students in the electrical engineering community. What makes this upcoming chapter even more exciting is that I'll be continuing my journey within the same research group at FAU - Institute of Microwaves and Photonics (LHFT)! I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who has been a part of my academic journey thus far – especially to my thesis supervisors Esther Renner and Sophie Mull. Your guidance has been incredibly valuable, and I'm excited to carry these lessons into the advanced challenges of a Master's program.
