Curriculum Vitae

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Chair of Materials Science and Nanotechnology at Technische Universität Dresden. Before joining TUD, I worked on soft actuators and soft robotic systems, focusing on elastomer- and hydrogel-based materials for sensing and actuation. My research centered on designing and fabricating soft, tactile sensors and integrating them into intelligent robotic platforms through material engineering and computational control strategies.
I first learned about CeTI during a conference presentation, and I was immediately drawn to its interdisciplinary approach to human–machine interaction. The idea of bringing together researchers from materials science, engineering, and medicine to develop robotic systems that can better support doctors and improve patient care strongly resonated with me. Within CeTI, my current work focuses on gas sensing technologies for disease monitoring. By developing material-based sensor systems for detecting disease-related biomarkers, I aim to contribute to earlier identification of health conditions and to enable simple, accessible preliminary health assessments that can be used outside clinical settings.

Projekte/Kooperationen innerhalb des CeTI, an denen Sie bereits beteiligt sind:

  • the develop and application of multi-model olfactory sensor

What are the main topics or questions that drive your research?

The main focus of my research is the development and optimization of olfactory sensor systems for early disease detection.

What inspired you to  pursue your current field of work?

I was inspired by the possibility of translating molecular-level changes into measurable signals that enable early disease detection and intelligent sensing applications.

What excites you most about being part of CeTI?

What excites me most about being part of CeTI is the strong interdisciplinary collaboration. It brings together expertise from materials science, electronics, robotics, and neuroscience to develop intelligent, human-centered, and assistive systems that would not be possible within a single discipline alone.

Which challenge or question has recently sparked your curiosity?

I’m particularly curious about how we can translate complex biological odor coding mechanisms into stable and reproducible synthetic sensing platforms.

How do you like to recharge or spend your time outside of work?

I enjoy bouldering and spending time outdoors. Physical movement helps me reset mentally and often sparks new ideas for my research.
