About me
About me
Engineering profile, work experience, education, and selected professional activities.
I work at the intersection of radioactive waste management, radiation protection, instrumentation, and structured technical documentation.
Profile
Safety-critical engineering with a documentation backbone
My work combines regulated engineering practice with clear technical documentation, instrumentation oversight, radiation protection coordination, and reporting quality in radioactive waste management environments.
The common thread is operational reliability: making complex work traceable, measurable, and easier to review across teams, tools, and long-running processes.

Education
Certifications and Education
University of Vienna
Graduated from the University of Vienna with a Magister rerum naturalium (Mag. rer. nat.) in Physics in 2004. The degree program focused on advanced topics in material physics and computational methods. The diploma thesis, conducted at the Institute of Materials Physics, explored atomic twin structure models and ab-initio calculations of twin boundary energies in martensitic NiTi alloys. In September 2004, the final diploma examination was completed with distinction. In February 2005, academic excellence was further recognized with the award of a Merit Scholarship under the Austrian Student Support Act (Studienförderungsgesetz 2004) from the University of Vienna.
