With over six years of experience in research and development, innovation, and consulting in the field of e-mobility and sustainable energy, I am passionate about advancing the state-of-the-art in battery manufacturing and functional materials. As the Managing Director of eLab, the E-Mobility laboratory of RWTH Aachen University, I lead a lab in which interdisciplinary experts from research and industry partner to deliver cutting-edge solutions and services for the e-mobility sector.

I am also a Research Associate at the Chair of Production Engineering of E-Mobility Components (PEM), where I develop and consult on next-generation battery manufacturing technology. Previously, I co-founded and ran PrintYourPart, a startup that provides R&D and consulting services for 3D printing technology for functional materials. I hold a Master of Science degree in Sustainable Energy Technology from Eindhoven University of Technology, and a dual Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from Milwaukee School of Engineering and Technische Hochschule Lübeck.

The chair "Production Engineering of E-Mobility Components" (PEM) at RWTH Aachen University stands for forward-looking research and innovation in the field of electromobility. In seven research areas, the production processes of electric vehicles and their individual components as well as batteries, their recycling and their safety are further developed. Application-oriented projects are complemented by numerous industrial cooperations. The Center for Electric Vehicle Production (ZEP), which covers all production processes for electric vehicles, is available as an infrastructure.
