I am a research engineer specializing in simulations of mechanical structures and material modeling. Currently, I serve as a Research Associate at the Institute of Mechanics and Computational Mechanics at Leibniz Universität Hannover.

My work focuses on developing multiphysical computational models that encompass plasticity, phase field fracture, fatigue, and chemical reactions. In my most recent project, I optimize the product lifetime of stents for coronary arteries. This involves designing mechanical components using CAD software (SolidWorks), conducting simulations to control their mechanical responses with CAE tools (Abaqus Simulia), and developing mathematical formulations to describe multiphysical couplings.
    
Additionally, my research is enhanced through the development of deep learning architectures using TensorFlow within the Python programming language.
    
Teaching large classes of up to 200 students in subjects such as Statics, Solid Mechanics, Kinematics, and Vibration has significantly enhanced my communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills. Furthermore, my current position includes responsibilities in budgeting and hiring tutors as well as research personnel, which has further developed my managerial abilities.
    
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you think we could collaborate. I am always open to new ideas and suggestions and keen to work with other researchers in industry or academia.
