Brief Biography

I studied both, my bachelor and master programs in electrical engineering at RWTH Aachen University and two semesters at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. Towards the end of my bachelor program I have discovered my enthusiasm for control engineering leading to my bachelor thesis about controlling an actuator for the pelvis of an exoskeleton at the chair for medical information technology (MedIT). For my master thesis, I developed a model predictive controller (MPC) for mechanical ventilation of ARDS patients. This work allowed me to combine my well established knowledge about control theory with a completely new topic I had zero prior experience with. Then, after working as a control system developer for steel rolling at Primetals Technologies Germany for one and a half years I joined the Control Systems Group at TU Berlin as a researcher on November, 2021.

Research

My research focuses on controlling wind parks, particularly on

• model predictive control

• relief of old wind turbines to increase life expectancy

• utilizing sensor data and 'self-awareness' of individual wind turbines for optimal control
