Mechanical Engineer specialized in laser welding and cutting processes for e-mobility industrial applications. Combines hands-on expertise in laser process development (continuous, pulsed, ultra-short pulse) with in-depth material characterization: metallographic specimen preparation, SEM/optical microscopy, and Vickers microhardness. Skilled in real-time process monitoring using photodiodes, optical microphones and high-speed cameras. Proven track record in technology transfer, having collaborated closely with industrial partners and co-inventor of three patents.
