Interests
I have been a research associate at the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the Technische Hochschule Lübeck from February 1st 2017 until 30th September 2024. My research focus is on indoor positioning, simulation of radio frequency propagation, and wireless data acquisition.
In transfer projects, I work on simple and practical methods to collect sensor data, transmit them wirelessly, and visualize them in dashboards. This includes the use of middleware and the integration of different systems.
Starting from the winter semester 2021 until the winter semester 2023, I have been performing various teaching activities (lectures as well as labs) within the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science alongside the project position.
