About

I am a passionated scientist with a strong interest in advanced technological solutions. I hold a master degree in computational science and a PhD in natural science. During my PhD study, I focused on the computational modelling of tribological processes of diamond-like carbon coatings using Molecular Dynamics simulations. Recent history: From 2017-2021, I led the group surface functionalization at Fraunhofer IWS where we developed unique surface structuring solutions for industry and academia using mainly (but not solely) interference-based laser surface texturing approaches. Since 2021, I am the CEO from Fusion Bionic, a spin-off from Fraunhofer IWS which focuses on the commercialization of our laser texturing solutions using Direct Laser Interference Patterning for large-area and high-speed laser surface functionalization.
