Researcher & Teacher
After many years of working in numerous research centers(including Max-Planck and Fraunhofer Institutes and the Research Center Jülich), I would like leverage my experience as a University researcher and teacher and perspectively as a University Professor. A specialized background in the field and extensive experience in various aspects of allow me to quickly gain insight into numerous technical and scientific aspects.

- An optimization of the operating parameter space at the plasma test facility (IShTAR) to study wave propagation. The lower-hybrid resonance formed in the direct vicinity of an RF antenna in tokamak is the subject of numerous parasitic phenomena which result in an deterioration of the antena surface. An output of this study gives a direct recipe on the positioning of the lower-hybrid resonance layer right in front of the RF antenna and imitate conditions as in practical fusion devices
