Head of Science at Everest Carbon

We wanted to make Carbon Capture via Enhanced Rock weathering scalable with a sensor that measures the amount of weathering in real-time in the field.

As Head of Science I was responsible for the R&D vision and our core technology.

Being a physicist by training I appreciated all the new chemistry, hydrology and geology learnings.

1 year at Infineon in Warstein working on AI topics

Project Manager at Infineon

I was part of the Advanced Data Analytics team at the Infineon back-end site in Warstein.

Here, we helped production to enhance quality and decrease costs with machine learning and data analytics. I was a project manager in a standardization project for image anomaly detection, and served also as a business analyst, developer and scrum master in other projects.

PhD in Quantum Technologies and MBA

Industry-funded MBA program @ College des Ingenieures

Merit-based MBA program, focused on entrepreneurship & innovation. Classes included: finance, innovation, private equity, HR, marketing, accounting, strategy.

My group won the Airliquide HR challenge, as well as the BASF marketing pitch and published a paper on innovativeness in the CERN journal of innovation :)

PhD Student in group of Prof. Tobias Heindel

I joined the BMBF-funded Quantum -Futur junior research group back in 2020. Together we set up a brand-new quantum optics lab from scratch including cryogenics, laser safety, IT infrastructure, pressurized-air, electronics, water cooling and lab software for automated experiments.

We performed spectroscopy experiments, quantum communication simulations, as well as analytical estimations. Over the 4 years we managed to start new collaborations and several projects which culminated in 6 first-author/equally contributing publications as well as more than 20 conference visits. I also supervised 8 bachelor/master students and taught advanced lab classes.

Gap year between Master and PhD

Quantum Start-up business development at Q.ant

I co-developed and tested a quantum particle sensor and took it to an industrial partner company for in-field testing.

Credit risk mitigation consulting at KPMG

We implemented Basel 3 regulations in the internal credit risk models of a german bank.

Mathematics teacher at Studyhelp

I taught Abitur preparation classes compact courses both online and offline.

Internships during study times

Chemical Vapor Deposition at Yale University

In a DAAD-financed internship I grew SnTe nanowires in the group of Judy Cha, characterized them, contacted them and performed cryogenic transport measurements.

Setting up Scanning Tunneling microscope at University of St. Andrews

In a second DAAD-financed internship I helped setting up a cryogenic, ultra-high vacuum, ultra-low vibration scanning tunneling microscope in the group of Peter Wahl.

Investigating Exciton Polaritons at Centre de Nanosciences

In the research for my master thesis I performed spectroscopy experiments on exciton polaritons in patterned quantum wells in the group of Jacqueline Bloch.

Other projects

Innovation4Change Program

With our challenge owner being the Global Health Security Fund we developed a start-up idea in the field of technology transfer. The idea was to utilize unused IP in tech transfer offices of universities, thereby reducing portfolio maintenance costs and generating new venture opportunities.

Training to become a tourist entertainer

After my master I did 4-week training to become a tourist entertainer and made a summary video. Then the Covid19 pandemic prevented working in that field at that time.

Multiple science projects

2013: Building a particle accelerator from garbage

Yes you read that correctly, we used an old TV as the electron gun, an old microwave oven to generate microwaves and an aluminum tube as the waveguide to construct a traveling wave accelerator.

2014: Building a scanning tunneling microscope

We were able to measure a tunnel current of a few nA when bringing a metal tip in near contact with a gold surface and used piezos and a feedback loop to maintain tunneling distance.

2014: Giving classes for Netzwerk Teilchenwelt

By facilitating CERN masterclasses I earned a trip to the LHC in Geneva when the shutdown happened so I could go down to the ATLAS detector.
