I studied industrial engineering and management in my Bachelor's degree and production engineering in my Master's degree, both with a focus on materials science at the University of Bremen. During my studies, I worked for 4 years at the IWT Bremen on the subject of heat treatment before moving to the Fraunhofer IFAM in early 2016 where I started working on binder jetting. After graduating in April 2017 I became project manager of the powder technology department.
