Research

I am a Postdoctoral Scientist at Technical University of Darmstadt at the Cyber-Physical Simulation Institute of Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Oliver Weeger. Previously, I was scientific collaborator at Technical University of Darmstadt at the Institute for Numerical Methods in Mechanical Engineering of Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Michael Schäfer and doctoral candidate at Graduate School of Computational Engineering. My dissertation Digital Twins for Autonomous Thermal Food Processing can be found online here.
