I obtained my Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering at the university of Stuttgart with focus on metal forming, laser applications and additive manufacturing. After also studying at the University of Linköping in Sweden, I started working for the TRUMPH GmbH & Co. KG in Ditzingen in the departments of additive manufacturing, stamping and forming tools. Since 2016 I am a research assistant at the Fraunhofer IGCV in Augsburg and at the MAN Energy Solutions SE with focus on implementation of AM technologies, training for additive manufacturing, coordination of Fraunhofer-Graduation-Program “Metal-AM-Expert”. I was also an attendee of the TUM Graduate School doctorate-program in Munich.
