cv
With over a decade of professional experience in laser-material interaction and a PhD in the border area of chemistry and physics, I find solutions to find sustainable energy solutions. I have proven my communication and organisational skills in numerous international and interdisciplinary research collaborations and voluntary work. I have gained relevant experience in the planning and realisation of projects and the presentation of project results at conferences and in publications. I take the lead in solving challenges together as a team.
