Electrode and catalyst development for water splitting and alkaline electrolysis Application of electrochemical measurement methods to evaluate the performance, stability, and efficiency of new materials Characterization of materials using established techniques such as CV, EIS, polarization/Tafel analysis, and three-electrode measurements Development of a Python-based evaluation software for the automated analysis of electrochemical experimental data

Master’s Thesis: Battery Modeling Simulated migration barriers for lithium vacancies in LixNiO₂ as a function of lithium concentration Utilized the SLURM workload manager to schedule and perform DFT and NEB calculations in VASP Modeled three-dimensional images of LixNiO₂ supercells with OVITO to derive theoretical lithium migration pathways

Bachelor’s Thesis: Ammonia Purification Collaborated with a 20-person team on the design of an industrial plant for the purification of ammonia using the CF Braun process Utilized Pro/II design software to calculate and adjust flow rates, temperatures, and other relevant parameters Developed and optimized a cryogenic cooling section to improve the plant’s energy efficiency and product purity
