I started my career as a scientist at the turn of the millennium with presentations on fuel cells in three classes in the seventh and eighth grades, entered the biggest youth science and technology competition in Europe “Jugend forscht” in 2005, and received an award from the German Physical Society a year later. I received six awards and scholarships in total, including from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), the German Physical Society (DPG), the German Chemical Society (GDCh) and the German Bunsen Society for Physical Chemistry (DBG). For more information see my work experience, education and my language and computer skills.
At Volkswagen AG, I am working in close cooperation with international partners on the battery cell development, technology and simulation. In Prof. Gerbrand Ceder’s 
work group, I closely cooperated with groups in the USA and Canada in the Joint Center for Energy Storage Research, one of the US Department of Energy's Energy Innovation Hubs. At RWTH Aachen University, I have been working closely in cooperation with several experimental and computational research groups in Germany, in Bratislava and at CERN and supported international guests from industry and science from the USA, the UK, South Korea, Japan, Denmark, Slovakia and Austria. In Prof. Manfred Martin’s work group, I successfully maintained laboratory equipment (XRD, impedance spectroscopy and van der Pauw measurements) and IT infrastructure and ensured that safety standards were met at all times. Additionally, I attended professional development seminars as well as Summer Schools in Oldenburg and Valencia. I am trained in project management and licensed as an SAP Certified Application Associate and Certified LabVIEW Associate Developer. On a personal level, I always do my best to support and assist my colleagues, for instance by writing a LabVIEW program or volunteering for several night shifts at the German Electron Synchrotron (DESY), and take pleasure in organizing social activities and team-building exercises for work groups, such as a scavenger hunt at the beach, surprising everybody with gifts and a Secret Santa – including singing Christmas songs – at the Christmas party or inviting the entire institute to a self-made brunch.

In addition to being a native German speaker, I have repeatedly demonstrated my fluent and expressive English language skills across peer-reviewed articles and my 280‑page doctoral thesis. I scored in the TOEFL iBT test in the top 1% (117/120 points). I always strive to communicate complex topics clearly and engagingly, for example while supervising three graduate students from Japan and South Korea and in my oral presentations. My presentations include talks at international conferences, including ICACC in Daytona Beach, Florida and SSI‑20 in Keystone, Colorado and a lecture in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Seoul National University, South Korea.
I have a strong background in solid-state physics with an excellent practical knowledge of density functional theory. In my articles, I discuss thermodynamics, statistical mechanics and the kinetics of materials. I possess strong analytical and computer programming skills with an ability to analyze, interpret and see patterns in complex data, and extensive experience in data mining. I have experience in scientific programming including Fortran, C++, Python, Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), R, MATLAB and Linux shell scripts. I am a Certified LabVIEW Associate Developer (CLAD) licensed by National Instruments and SAP Certified Application Associate. Furthermore, I am familiar with the use of content management systems (e.g. TYPO3) and learning management systems (e.g. ILIAS) and in creating and maintaining websites using HTML and CSS. Additionally, I am conversant in in 3D modeling and animation applications (Cinema 4D, SketchUp and POV‑Ray), image editing and compositing (Adobe Photoshop, GIMP), vector graphics and illustration (Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape), video production and editing (Adobe Premiere Pro), interactive animations (Adobe Animate), Office and LaTeX. I also have provided application support for the IT infrastructure as First‑Level Support.
My travels around the world have provided me with ample opportunities to gain new perspectives on life. I believe that seeing issues from multiple points of view is a key skill for productive and empathetic communication. I love experiencing new customs, cultures and ways of living, and immersed myself in my backpacking trip through India, three journeys across China, and a summer school in Valencia. I became familiar with international research during the evaluation of student exercises in Auckland, oral presentations at conferences in Florida and Colorado, and my talk at Seoul National University. I benefited from my wide-ranging and fruitful discussions on results with colleagues while visiting universities in Daegu, South Korea and New Zealand. During my seven visits to the United States, I gained an insight into the country’s rich history in Plymouth at the Mayflower II, in the Stockyards District of Fort Worth, and the Washington Monument. Experiencing the wonders of the natural world is also an essential part of my travels, for example at the Gibbon Falls in Yellowstone National Park and my camping road trip from San Francisco to Nevada, Utah, and Arizona. Finally, for me, outdoor activities are, both mentally and physically, an essential part of any vacation, including skiing from Switzerland to France, kayaking at Milford Sound, black water rafting in the Waitomo Caves in New Zealand and, my personal favorite, hiking, for example to the top of the Pinnacles, along the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, or in Korea.
Over my 13 years of piano lessons and 15 years in a choir, which I actually conducted for a short time, I have learned the importance of dedication, open communication and having a clearly defined task while, from my love of beach volleyball, I learned the importance of team spirit and working with others to achieve mutual goals. While managing projects, I draw inspiration from my years of experience as class president in high school, where I organized a charity event for children's aid organizations and the graduation ceremony. I am trained as church musician in ear training, composition, liturgics, theology, and especially playing the organ. Finally, I love to bring people and their skills together, recently, for example, through acting as a tri-lingual co-host at a wedding.
