What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply vehicle dynamics, simulation, and validation work to automotive or rail engineering challenges, particularly involving suspension, braking, and safety-critical vehicle performance.

At Siemens Mobility Austria, I simulated railway bogies in Simpack to evaluate low-speed curving, validate models against static equalization tests, and assess wheel-rail contact forces for derailment safety.

I've also worked on two-wheeler ride stability, braking-system sizing, suspension and wheel assemblies at Matter Motor Works, alongside Formula Student projects improving cooling, torque output, and braking systems.
