Physics student at TU Berlin — embedded systems, UAV & RF, data analysis, scientific ML
I like solving hard problems end to end: from theoretical analysis and planning through to implementation in the lab and in field tests.
As a working student at Raydiant RF, the test drones were my area of responsibility — I built and converted the platforms, wrote firmware for antenna control systems, and developed a hardware-in-the-loop simulation environment. I'm equally at home in data analysis with Python, from genetic algorithms to evaluating measurement data, and I'm currently working my way into physics-informed machine learning.

| Hardware-in-the-loop simulation | An ArduPilot SITL environment on a Raspberry Pi 4 whose telemetry port behaves toward real hardware exactly like the flight controller — system tests without flight tests |
| Jamming detection | Commissioned bearing detection for jammers on an ArduPilot drone, integrated it into the HIL environment, and verified it in the lab and in the field |
| Sparse array optimization | Optimized antenna geometries with genetic algorithms (PyGAD); non-smooth fitness function due to spacing and edge constraints |
| 868 MHz conversion | Converted a test drone's control link to a clear band after the 2.4 GHz band was jammed at the test site |
From my degree: femtosecond laser autocorrelation at the Fritz Haber Institute, verifying the rocket equation via video tracking, and solving differential equations in analog with operational amplifiers. All with approach and results on the website.
