über mich
Ich begegne komplexen Aufgaben mit einer 'Out-of-the-Box'-Denkweise. Mein Fokus liegt auf der Schnittstelle von KI, Daten und Umwelttechnik. Ich arbeite mich tief in neue Technologien ein, um nicht nur theoretische Konzepte, sondern funktionierende Prototypen für die Praxis zu liefern.
Recent Projects
Building Cities of the Future: Harnessing Bioresources (ECIU) | Linköping University, Sweden (Oct 2025)
- Process Optimization: Engineered a microplastic removal strategy for a Dry Plug Flow Reactor (Thermophilic) to ensure regulatory compliance for bio-fertilizers.
- System Design: Proposed the integration of a mechanical de-bagging unit at the pre-treatment phase to mitigate bulk plastic intake and protect downstream equipment.
- Resource Recovery: Designed a bifurcation protocol to segregate digestate: directing high-quality fractions to agriculture and low-quality fractions to a biochar facility for energy recovery.
Smart & Green: AI for Sustainable Universities (ECIU) | University of Stavanger, Norway (Sept 2025)
- AI-Driven Mobility: Conceptualized a gamified app that utilizes algorithms to recommend optimal routes based on real-time traffic, carbon footprint, and cost.
- Automated Verification: Integrated AI technology to automatically detect and validate sustainable transport modes (e.g., biking vs. driving) to ensure data accuracy.
- Behavioral Incentive: Designed a "Green Credit" economy where verified eco-friendly travel earns points redeemable for canteen meals, fostering a sustainable campus culture.
Frugal Building: From Design to Construction (ECIU) INSA Rennes, France (Aug 2025)
- Bioclimatic Design: Engineered renovation proposals for a local school, utilizing passive ventilation (Whirlybirds) and translucent solar panels to optimize thermal comfort and energy generation.
- Material Analysis: Conducted hands-on structural testing of raw earth and straw composites at the ÉCOBATYS workshop, specifically analyzing moisture content effects on stability.
