      2010 - 2015
      Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Surface Science

      Thesis: "Growth of Transition Metal Oxides in 2D layers: Probing and Tuning the Properties of Matter at the Atomic Scale"Description: The controlled growth of transition metal oxides (TMO) on the Ag(100) surface is investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy in conjunction with various other surface science techniques. In addition, a novel promising experimental approach to effectively affect and control the growth of TMOs by strong electric fields is presented. The investigations… Show more Thesis: "Growth of Transition Metal Oxides in 2D layers: Probing and Tuning the Properties of Matter at the Atomic Scale"Description: The controlled growth of transition metal oxides (TMO) on the Ag(100) surface is investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy in conjunction with various other surface science techniques. In addition, a novel promising experimental approach to effectively affect and control the growth of TMOs by strong electric fields is presented. The investigations concerned the TMO systems MnO and WO.Supervisor: Prof. Falko P. Netzer Show less

      Master of Science (MSc) Technical Physics

      Diploma-Thesis: "Temperature Dependent Bias-Stress Measurement on Organic Thin Film Transistors"Discription: The thesis focuses on the time evolution of device parameters underbias-stress at room and low temperatures. Various measurements at pentacene thinfilm transistors document and quantify the bias-stress effects on the charge carriermobility and the threshold voltage. Therefore, the existing methods for parameterextractions have been critically reviewed and a first… Show more Diploma-Thesis: "Temperature Dependent Bias-Stress Measurement on Organic Thin Film Transistors"Discription: The thesis focuses on the time evolution of device parameters underbias-stress at room and low temperatures.

    • Infineon Technologies

      Dec 2016 - Aug 2022

      Working as Concept/System Engineer on highly integrated SoC - RADAR transceiver mmWave ICs - used as distance sensors for automotive applications.I developed concepts for monitoring and self-diagnostic structures in the receiver chain to ensure ISO26262 compliant system design and/or to be exploited for advanced production testing. This included a detailed concept analysis by modeling the specific signal path and all relevant system blocks in MATLAB, and, as an outcome of these investigations, the definition of HW/SW requirements and HW/SW interface.
