Conducted a master’s thesis on engineering tailored secondary oxide materials for sustainable solar heat absorbers and thermal energy storage. Designed and synthesized functional oxides for optimal thermal performance. Used XRD, SEM, and TGA for phase, morphology, and stability analysis—assessed thermal absorption and storage. Collaborated with interdisciplinary teams and presented findings in reports and meetings.

Conducted research on alloying and trace element analysis in steels using ICP-OES. Analyzed elements like titanium and chromium with spectrometric methods. Operated ICP-OES instruments and software for precise detection. Supported metallurgical quality assessments through analytical techniques. Gained hands-on experience in sample prep, data acquisition, and interpretation, enhancing skills in materials characterization and steel technology.

Worked in operations and engineering, supporting installation and commissioning of industrial equipment. Led implementation of seal packing machines and hammer mills at multiple plants. Conducted site visits and supervised mechanical system integration to enhance efficiency. Collaborated with senior engineers on reports and best practices. Gained hands-on experience in mechanical systems, process optimization, and teamwork.

Schwerpunkt: Technische Keramik, Feuerfestmaterialien, Werkstoffentwicklung, Eisen- und Stahltechnologie.

Grundlagen in Mechanik, Thermodynamik, Fertigungstechnik, Werkstoffkunde
