My passion is to work within the linkage of human and technology with the goal to contribute to human health, well-being, and development. Currently, I am finishing up my doctoral thesis on exploring hearing and cognitive abilities in young children (3 to 10 years old) and adult with respect to spatial, noise and health aspects. A new chapter is about to start and I am eager to join new opportunities and challenges.
Being a creative and analytical problem solver, I have proven abilities to work successfully in inter- and multi-disciplinary projects and teams within international context. In my previous position as the Chief Engineer of the Institute for Hearing Technology and Acoustics at RWTH Aachen University I have proven my ability to successfully streamline processes and internal communications to improve research and working procedures and conditions alike. I am dedicated to strategic planning, people and project management, as well as, team development.
I genuinely advocate equality in gender and diversity and the promotion of juniors. As the former vice chair of the Young Acousticians Network, I developed and introduced the EAA Mentoring Programme, and within my work as a gender and diversity representative in my faculty, I committed to support underrepresented groups in Electrical Engineering.
