I am a BESS R&D Engineer at Ampowr in Utrecht, the Netherlands, where I work on innovative Battery Energy Storage System Solutions.

At OQmented I've worked on Augmented Reality Glasses using MEMS mirrors technology. I did my Masters at University of Kiel, where I was advised by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Andreas Bahr during my thesis.
