- Assisting in the experimental setup and operation of the UBeRT project at the Hermann-Föttinger Institute (HFI), TU Berlin. - Supporting the mechanical assembly of the turbine test rig and laboratory infrastructure. - Assisting with the installation, wiring, and calibration of strain gauges and other measurement instrumentation. - Participating in experimental measurement campaigns and contributing to the acquisition and analysis of test data. - Interpreting measurement results to support research on turb

Conducted the aerodynamic redesign of the Berlin Research Turbine (BeRT) as part of my Master's thesis under academic supervision. The project included rotor optimization, low-Reynolds-number airfoil selection, pitch-compatible blade design, trailing-edge flap integration, aero-structural analysis, and wind tunnel validation using QBlade.

• Assisted in engineering activities across process, mechanical, and electrical disciplines. • Used Aspen HYSYS for process simulation and engineering calculations. • Reviewed P&ID diagrams and technical documentation. • Collaborated with multidisciplinary engineering teams on industrial projects.
