- DPZ Fotopreis 2022:
The German Primate Center (DPZ) held a photo competition in 2022 that was open to employees and guests of DPZ who captured their work photographically. I won in the science category with my entry ‘UFO: Unknown Feeding Object’.
- Zinc-Air project completed:
The Zinc-Air Project at FH Münster was being funded by the EFRE.NRW and the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. The project aimed to develop a high-performance zinc–air battery that can compete with lithium-based storage systems. I was thrilled to be part of Peter Glösekötters lab and share this success with the team!
- Flight Simulator Bachelor's thesis:
The Flight Simulator at the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science was fixed by me in my Bachelor’s thesis. The Flugsimulator was acquired by the department in 2011 from Tobit Software and has undergone significant technological changes since then. Although I have managed to get the Flugsimulator running again, some hardware tests are still missing, as well as a hazard analysis and approval from TÜV before people can use it.
- VDE organizes technical tour at Movie Park.:
The VDE-Hochschulgruppe is organizing an excursion to the Movie Park in Germany. The group will learn about the technology behind amusement park rides and establish contacts with ride manufacturers.
- Exploration Room:
The Exploration Room is designed to study the neural underpinnings of behaviors in monkeys by allowing researchers to record their brain activity while they engage in a variety of full-body behaviors. The software and hardware development for this project is focused on creating an experimental setup that would allow researchers to study the neural correlates of full-body behaviors in monkeys. I’m heavily involved in the markerless tracking approach and various interaction points that are presented to the monkeys. (Link will be updated shortly)
- Monkey Risk Study:
Development and implementation of a study apparatuses and software to investigate the risk behavior of Javanese monkeys. (Link will be updated shortly)
- Development project zinc air accumulators:
The ZnO project aims to develop a new zinc–air battery storage system with higher power density that can be charged and discharged with high currents, enabling new application scenarios such as scalable island and wind park solutions. I was involved in the development of the prototype designs, software and electronic components for the battery management system, as well as the testing equipment.
- Platform-independent programming environment Robo Pro Coding:
Development of a multi-platform IDE for the development of programs on control modules for the company Fischertechnik. A cooperation between the FH Münster Software Engineering Lab and beemo GmbH.
