Short Bio:

 

Currently, I am a Field Application Engineer at LumaSense/Advanced Energy, focusing on remote temperature sensing for industrial high-temperature applications by means of pyrometry and thermal imaging.

 

Until July 2019, I was a scientific collaborator (Synergistic Fluid Technology) at the Institute of Nano- & Microfluidics/TU Darmstadt, which is led by Prof. Steffen Hardt, addressing hydrodynamic systems undergoing coupled self-organization, electrokinetic phenomena in thermally driven free surface flows as well as non-isothermal electrokinetic flows in confined geometry. Prior to that I was a postdoctoral scholar at the Laboratory of Interfacial & Small Scale Transport led by Prof. Sandra M. Troian at Caltech from Oct 2007 - May 2010, working on the thermally induced patterning of thin polymer films. From Oct 2006 - Oct 2007, I joined the DARPA Center of Optofluidic Integration hosted at Caltech, conducting postdoctoral research on optical applications of free surface flows as well as on bistable capillary systems at the Optical Information Processing Group led by Prof. Demetri Psaltis. My Ph.D. research (2001 - 2005) in the Laboratory of Thermodynamics in Emerging Technologies/ETH Zurich under the guidance of Prof. Dimos Poulikakos dealt with the modeling and simulation of the deposition and curing of nanoparticle inks. I stayed another year in the same lab as a post-doc investigating vapor formation phenomena around heated nanoparticles. I finished my diploma studies of mechanical engineering, majoring in thermal engineering (tutored by Prof. Karl-Friedrich Knoche) at RWTH Aachen University in 2000. During my studies, I spent one year as a student scholar at UC Davis conducting heat transfer research with thermochromic liquid crystals under the guidance of Prof. James Baughn as well as another year as an engineering assistant at FEV Engine Technology in Auburn Hills, MI, performing benchmarking tests of truck engines and experimental boxer engines.

Interests:

 

My main interests encompasses the development, design and improvement of engineering systems relevant to micro- and nano-fabrication, small-scale energy conversions, communication and information processing as well as human-machine interaction. I study physical effects related to

 

  :: Free surface micro- and thermofluidics

  :: Advanced sustainable energy systems

  :: Optofluidics

  :: Self-organizing, evolutionary complexity

 

I am is also interested all aspects of metrology, particularly with respect to thermal engineering.

 

Recently, I have developed and implemented a cloud-based inventory system to ease the sharing and tracking of laboratory equipment as well as to provide a real-time inventory system. (link)
