Bio

Additive Manufacturing is part of my life since 2005. My journey started as a student at the Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V., Germany. I started loving this technology and learned a lot about Selective Laser Melting (SLM), Laser Metal Deposition (LMD), material and process development and even machine development. After my studies in 2009 I continued my work in Additive Manufacturing as a research assistant and finally got my doctoral degree in mechanical engineering for the development of the Selective Laser Melting Process for magnesium and magnesium alloys. In 2017 I joined the Baker Hughes AM team in Celle, Germany as an Additive Manufacturing Materials Scientist where I worked on various research and development projects especially on Electron Beam Melting (EBM). Since 2021 I am leading AM projects at the Celle facility as an Additive Manufacturing Lead Scientist.
