As lead of the Knowledge Management process, I relish the cross-departmental work in a big group of software developers and sustainability consultants. I act between HR, IT and consulting to create value through facilitating information absorption for my coworkers. As one of the consultants, I am most helpful finding efficient pathways to overcome complex technical problems in a variety of business sectors. Using challenging projects to broaden my software skillset is the biggest fun at work!

I modelled the life cycle of a small-scale aluminum wind turbine. Gathering this inventory we were able to quantify environmental impacts over the entire life cycle.

Here, I got very deep into research and theory about microalgae's biological and processing aspects. I built a background model to analyze future pathways for sustainable energy generation via biofuel generation from microalgae. Combining literature data and in-house laboratory results I evaluated the environmental performance over the entire life cycle.
