I studied Business Administration and Engineering: Electrical Power Engineering and completed both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees at RWTH Aachen University. During my studies, I focused extensively on the challenges and opportunities of the energy industry, particularly with an emphasis on electrical power engineering and renewable energy.

Currently, I am working as a research associate at Fraunhofer FIT in the Center for Digital Energy and at the Institute for High Voltage Equipment and Grids, Digitalization and Energy Economics (IAEW) at RWTH Aachen University. In my role, I am involved in project management, research, and the development of adaptive protection systems for distribution grids.
