About me:
I have a background in materials science, experimental and computational physics, and cosmochemistry. My scientific journey has been diverse, taking me from a Bachelor of Science in Geosciences and a Master in Geochemistry at the Goethe University Frankfurt to a Ph.D. in Physics at the European XFEL, followed by a Postdoc in the field of Inertial Confinement Fusion at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and most recently to Theory and Simulations at the Paul Scherrer Institute. I am currently a Program Manager for ESAs Excellence in Materials at the European Space Deep-Tech Innovation Centre (ESDI).
Outside of work, I enjoy travelling, writing, and photography. Sports have always been a central part of my life, with favorites including football, running, tennis, hiking and skiing.
This is my personal website - I try to update it from time to time..
Left image: NIF (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) target chamber. Middle image: Omega (Rochester) laser chamber. Right image: X-ray tunnel at the European XFEL
Left: Clean lab work
Right: To scale satellite at the entrance of the European Space Agency at Noordwjjk, The Netherlands and a miniature scale model of a moon lander (which unfortunately never made it to the moon...)
Left: Sample preparation for electron microscopy (SEM, EPMA, TEM)
Middle: SEM measurements
Right: Meteorite sample and why you should always choose the right epoxy in a vacuum...
Left: High temperature furnace to anneal nice little olivine crystals
Middle: Olivine crystal will get a lot of heat soon...
Right: Afterwards measuring it with a laser ablation inductively coupled mass spectrometer.
Left: When theoretically models and experiments align, then you have won ;-) Middle: garnets, which might be a lot worth for rings around a finger, but are even more worth for science! Right: Setup for a laser chamber at LCLS, when you really need to make cool measurements!
If you really need to squeeze something, use a multi anvil cell :) (the one in the middle)
And last but not least, of course cool simulation, that are fun and help a lot for experiments!
