EXPERIENCE

Freelance Computational Designer and 3D Generalist

Technical Research Assistant

Undergraduate Research Assistant

I specialize in creating visualizations and design solutions using computational design tools and and workflows for various clients. With a focus on delivering high-quality results. I develop web designs, computational design tasks, and visualization systems. I also implement workflows to digitalize products and processes, ensuring scalable, efficient, and effective solutions.

Participation in the interdisciplinary research project TurboFuelCellFuE (T-Cell) as part of Professor Dominik Lengyel's Chair of Architecture and Visualisation. The project focuses on the investigation and development of a turbocharged hydrogen fuel cell including the architectural exterior and various underground installations for technical equipment.

Participation in the DFG research project "The Digital Image" and the priority programme "Architecture Transformed - Architectural Processes in the Digital Image Space" of the Chair of Architecture and Visualisation (Professor Dominik Lengyel) to research the development of architectural representations in relation to available digital representation tools and methods.
