Currently, I am the Head of Process Modeling and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) at Evonik Operations GmbH in Hanau, Germany. I have held this position since October 2015. With my passion for modeling and thermodynamics, I strive to continuously improve and advance our process technologies.

After completing my higher education, including my habilitation at TU Braunschweig, my journey began in 1998 as a process engineer at Degussa AG, where I laid the foundations for my professional development.
