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.
