At Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute, I design and fabricate CAD-based prototypes for optical components using additive manufacturing. I also optimize soldering processes for optoelectronic assemblies and prepare surfaces for optical characterization and integration.
For my master’s thesis with Fraunhofer IPMS and BHT Berlin, I developed COMSOL Multiphysics FEM models of electrostatically actuated MEMS varactors. I optimized the device geometry and achieved a 30x improvement in tuning ratio, validating the simulations against analytical models.
I also designed and developed a laser-based SLA 3D printer, integrating its mechanical design, electronics, and STM32-based control. At Formnext Frankfurt 2025, I presented and demonstrated the Nexus AI Agent for mechanical engineering and analyzed customer workflows for AI-based optimization and automation opportunities.
