Environmental engineer specializing in hydrogen technologies, fuel cell materials, stacks, durability studies, and production processes, with a growing focus on electrolysis technologies. Passionate about promoting women and girls in STEM through the Femtec Alumnae network.
Gender should never limit someone's potential or aspirations
I hold a degree in Environmental Engineering from the University of Stuttgart (2019), with a specialization in renewable energy systems and chemical process engineering. During my studies, I gained research experience at Robert Bosch GmbH, where I worked on electrochemical sensors and solid oxide fuel cells. During my PhD studies at the Center for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research (ZSW) and the University of Ulm, I focused on the aging of PEM fuel cell stacks and completed my dissertation on accelerated durability testing in 2024. Since March 2024, I have been part of the Hydrogen Technologies research group at Kempten University of Applied Sciences, where I have been working on PFAS-free materials for fuel cells. This includes their characterization and durability studies, as well as production research for membrane electrode assemblies. Currently, I am expanding my expertise towards electrolysis technologies.
Beyond my professional career, I actively contribute to the Femtec Alumnae network, where I strive to promote the advancement of women in STEM fields and inspire young girls to pursue careers in science and technology.
