Experience

Data Scientist

DESY, Hamburg • 2020 - Present

Developed the SED Python package to process billion-event datastreams to multi-dimensional images.

Software Developer

HörTech, Oldenburg • 2019 - 2021

Created real-time signal processing algorithms for hearing aids and streamlined MATLAB-to-C++ workflows for researchers using openMHA.

Simulation Engineer

OFFIS, Oldenburg • 2019 - 2020

Tested autonomous driving simulators and established interoperability standards between platforms.

Education

M.Sc. in Data Science

RWTH Aachen • 2021 - 2024

• Gained expertise in optimization, probability, and statistical theory, with advanced signal and image processing using Fourier and wavelet transforms. • Explored machine learning extensively, including supervised/unsupervised methods, neural networks, and statistical learning theory. • Thesis: Denoising Methods for Multi-Dimensional Photoemission Spectroscopy (classical and deep learning-based approaches combined with statistical signal analysis) at DESY.

B.Eng. in Engineering Physics

CvO University, Oldenburg • 2016 - 2021

• Combined fundamental physics topics such as quantum mechanics, electrodynamics, and solid-state physics with applied knowledge in control systems, signal processing, materials engineering, and electronics. • Participated in a semester-long exchange at the Technical University of Denmark. • Thesis: Towards Ultrafast Dynamic Studies in the Spin-Filter Material EuO with RIXS at FLASH (computational modeling and experimental data analysis) at DESY.
