About me

I am a Senior Business Consultant at iteratec specializing in sustainable solutions, where I bridge cutting-edge AI technology with traditional industrial applications. With a distinguished research career spanning over seven years at the German Federal Research Institute for Materials Science and Testing (BAM), I've established myself as an expert in materials informatics and AI-driven engineering solutions.

My research tenure includes notable achievements as a Scientist and later Wissenschaftler at BAM, where I led multiple consortiums and secured significant research funding from EU and federal sources. I've demonstrated expertise in developing AI solutions for materials science, managing diverse research projects, and mentoring graduate students. My academic contributions include publications in prestigious journals, open source AI Software for materials design, bleeding edge lectures on AI in Engineering at TU Berlin and regular presentations at international conferences.

During my career, I served as a Substitute Professor at TU Berlin and Speaker of BAM's competence centre for data analysis, highlighting my leadership in academic and research settings. Currently, as a Senior Business Consultant at iteratec, I focus on developing tailored strategies for integrating AI into production processes, with a particular emphasis on sustainability and technological innovation. I maintain my connection to research as a Guest Researcher at BAM and serve on the Board of Advisors at EU funded project Reincarnate, bridging the gap between academic research and industrial applications.
