Studied Naval Architecture at the University of Applied Sciences in Kiel. After graduating, I worked as research assistance at the University of Duisburg-Essen in the subjects seakeeping, fluid-structure-interaction and maneuvering of ships. Since 2022 I am product architect at thyssenkrupp Marine Systems GmbH and currently responsible for the propulsion and maneuvering system of our in-house XLUUV demonstrator.
