Mechanical and thermal-electric modeling (FE tool: Ansys) and validation of battery contacts (application in e-car) with respect to physical limits and requirement specifications in the product development process Optimization of components with Python/ application of evolutionary algorithms: Increasing load but decreased need of material Optimization of fuse design with respect to disconnection behaviour, heat distribution and behaviour under mechanical loads

Cross functional evaluation of hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) conecpts, identification of novel and forward-looking hybrid systems Evaluation of the dynamic behaviour of the electric motor, optimisation of a bearing concept for a smoother operation of the e-motor Standardization of the simulation process, thus decreasing the simulation time and applying it to a wide range of hybrid systems Evaluation of vibrating and rotating machinery using self-written programs (Matlab, VBA) and commercial software

Diploma thesis in multibody dynamics, simulating the behaviour of gear wheels used in a balance shaft system of a four-cylinder in-line engine Simulation of gear wheels with different level of detail Comparison of the simulations results with measured data/ identification of measurement errors Multibody software: Simpack

Internship in the research department, developed a program to evaluate the bearing force and moment reactions of a crankshaft applying a variety of different engine configurations Simulating a novel crank drive mechanism based on an eccentric piston pin to increase the efficiency using the multibody tool ADAMS

Applied mechanics (dynamics of machinery, rotordynamics, vibrations, continuum mechanics) Numerical mathematics Multibody simulation, finite element method Applied programming (Matlab, Python, Fortran, Exel-VBA)
