Software / Photonics Engineer at GDSFactory, a chip design software startup where I am leading the Design Rule Checking (DRC) team.

I studied physics at the Technical University of Berlin (TUB), where I gained research experience with the Department of Nonlinear Optics and co-authored a couple of publications. I then worked as a research assistant at the Hybrid Photonics Group at Fraunhofer HHI which, along with taking MSc classes and interships across research labs, Flexcompute & institutes for applied physics, helped me specialize in photonic and electronic integrated circuit design and research.
